Cao Cao, Guan Yu, Liu Bei, and other Three Kingdoms heroes fought over Jingzhou for decades
You may have never heard of Jingzhou, but about 2,000 years ago it was the most strategically important place in China. Today, Jingzhou city, located along the northern banks of the Yangtze River in Hubei province, is the unremarkable home to over 6 million people. However, it was at the heart of struggles for control of the country during the Three Kingdoms Period (220 – 280) and served as the backdrop for Romance of the Three Kingdoms, one of China’s most famous books.
