Ancient pavilion with traditional architecture, a historic cultural landmark.

Tengwang Pavilion, a preeminent cultural landmark located in Donghu District, Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province, China, is celebrated as one of "China’s Three Great Towers of Jiangnan" and a "National 5A-level Tourist Attraction." Rising 57.5 meters with 9 tiers (4 hidden, 5 visible), it enchants visitors with its Tang Dynasty-style architecture—vermilion pillars, green-glazed tiles, and 12-meter-tall dragon-headed eaves—replicating the grandeur of its 653 AD original built by Prince Teng Li Yuanying.

The pavilion features iconic highlights: the "Top-tier Observation Deck" (offering 360° views of the Ganjiang River and Nanchang skyline), the "Preface to Tengwang Pavilion Hall" (displaying a 10-meter-long ink painting of the scene described in Wang Bo’s Tang Dynasty literary masterpiece, alongside a 2.5-meter-tall gold-plated bronze inscription of the poem), and the "Cultural Relics Exhibition" (exhibiting 100+ artifacts, from Ming Dynasty blue-and-white porcelain inscribed with pavilion verses to Qing Dynasty woodcarvings of its architectural details). Steeped in literary legacy, it hosts the annual "Tengwang Pavilion Cultural Festival"—featuring classical poetry recitals, Tang-style court dance performances, and "Poetry on the River" boat tours where guests compose verses inspired by Wang Bo’s work.

Today, Tengwang Pavilion remains a top cultural destination, attracting millions annually to climb its marble steps, admire the 12-meter-tall "Double-Dragon Caisson" (a painted ceiling with coiling dragons symbolizing imperial dignity), or attend the "Evening Glow Lantern Show"—a light-and-sound performance reenacting Wang Bo’s legendary impromptu writing of the Preface. It stands as a bridge between past and present—where every upturned eave echoes ancient artistry, every verse preserves literary glory, and every visit connects modern hearts to the soul of China’s classical culture.
