Qing-era Hakka settlement of guild halls and lantern-lit lanes, named for a prince's dropped jade belt.
This guide to Luodai Ancient Town in Chengdu opens with a boy fishing in a well and dropping his jade belt into the water, the story locals say gave the town its name. It follows that boy, Liu Shan, into adulthood, when as heir to the state of Shu Han he surrendered Chengdu to the invading army of Wei in the year 263 without a single battle. Historians still argue whether he acted the fool or genuinely was one. Stand at the well where the story says his troubles began.
