Chan Chan
The archaeological area of Changchangcheng is located in Peru, a South American country. It is a large-scale adobe city. It was built in the 12th century AD. Although it is a masterpiece of American architecture in the pre-Columbian period, it is only a complete earthen building after all. , the erosion of nature, coupled with the destruction of treasure thieves in later generations, the existence of this historic city is in jeopardy. The center of Changchang City is the temple-like Chajudi Castle, which has a very well-preserved council hall. 24 seats surround the earth wall of the rectangular courtyard, which looks a lot like a debate hall. The sound transmission effect in this hall is unusual, and even people sitting in different seats can be heard clearly even if they speak in a low voice. Some buildings, including this council chamber, are surrounded by defensive earthen walls. In addition, the surrounding area is the Barakos Reservoir, some residential areas and platforms for religious ceremonies. The site was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1986.Huanchaco · 5.9km from Trujillo

La Huaca del Sol
The Temple of the Sun and the Temple of the Moon is one of the more important sites in Trujillo during the Moche period. The Sun Temple of the Incas was called "Krigancha", which means the Golden Garden. The most important annual sacrifice of the Inca Empire, the "Sun Festival", was held in the Sun Temple. The Sun Temple here is the largest building in Peru's pre-Columbian period, built with 140 million adobes. The relatively small Temple of the Moon has many rooms decorated with beautiful frieze, a famous product of the Moche culture. It is said that the walls of these temples are decorated with gold leaf, and the windows of the temples are narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and have a unique shape, which was originally made of gold and silver. However, these are all gone today.Moche District · 3.9km from Trujillo

The Rainbow Temple is one of the five celestial temples believed by the Incas, similar to the "Dragon King Temple" in China, which is used to pray for good weather and good crops, and to sacrifice babies. This ancient site from the Chimu Empire period is well preserved and was only excavated in the 1960s. Some pyramid-shaped enclosures have rainbow patterns carved into them.La Esperanza · 4.7km from Trujillo

After visiting Machu Picchu, I went to one of the surrounding attractions. This is a place with relatively few tourists. The Temple of the Sun and the Temple of the Moon are also important places for local sacrifices, and the scale is also quite large.
