As a precious attraction lying in the Three Gorges Scenic Area, the Zhangfei Temple of Yunyang County is under a large-scale reconstruction. It is predicted that the project will be finished before the May Day Holiday in 2008. During this reconstruction, the temple will be still open as usual.

Originally built in the late period of the Kingdom of Shu of the Three Kingdoms Period, the Zhangfei Temple has a history of more than 1,700 years. During the construction of the Three Gorges Project, it was moved and reconstructed 20 miles upstream of its original site. In July 2003, the new temple began to be opened to the public.
