Tengwang Pavilion Tourist Area

Tengwang Pavilion stands by the Ganjiang River. It is famous for Wang Bo's "Tengwang Pavilion Preface". It is one of the "Three Famous Towers in Jiangnan" and a landmark of Nanchang. Although it has been destroyed and rebuilt many times, the current building is renovated in modern times, and it is difficult to feel the grandeur of the ancients' "the setting sun and the solitary wild goose fly together, and the autumn water and the sky are the same color", but it is still one of the must-see attractions in Nanchang. Going to Nanchang to see Tengwang Pavilion is always a very ceremonial thing.

The Attraction is mainly composed of the main pavilion of Tengwang Pavilion and the small gardens on the north and south sides. Climbing the pavilion to see the distant view is the main purpose of tourists coming here. From the outside, the main pavilion looks like a three-story building with a corridor. In fact, it has three dark floors and an equipment floor, plus two bases, a total of nine floors.

The first floor of the main pavilion is the preface hall. Right in front of the entrance is a white marble sculpture of "The Wind Complimentary Tengwang Pavilion Away". In front of the door is an archway with the words "The setting sun and the solitary wild goose fly together, and the autumn water and the sky are the same color". Walking in the hall, you can see many plaques and couplets written by famous artists, which makes people feel the extraordinary status of Tengwang Pavilion. The second floor is a dark floor, with portraits of more than 80 outstanding figures in Jiangxi from the Pre-Qin Dynasty to the end of the Ming Dynasty on the walls; there is a teahouse in the North Ear Hall on the third floor; the fourth floor is similar to the second floor, with murals reflecting the mountains and rivers of Jiangxi on the walls.

Continue up to the fifth floor, which is a good place for viewing. The essence of the entire Tengwang Pavilion is here. The "Tengwang Pavilion Preface" engraved on the copper plate on the wall of the central hall is written by Su Shi. Next to it is a statue of Wang Bo holding a wine glass, and in the center of the east hall is a panoramic model of the Tengwang Pavilion. Strolling along the corridor and overlooking the vast waters of the Ganjiang River, although the opposite bank has long been covered with high-rise buildings and the scenery is no longer the same as it used to be, I always feel a little emotional when I think of the scene where literati and scholars recited poems and wrote couplets here.

The next level up is an antique stage, with a golden plaque of "Tengwang Pavilion" written by Su Dongpo hanging under the eaves. If you have enough time, you can go to the South Garden and North Garden to stroll around. The antique garden environment is nice. If you want to save money, you can choose not to enter the Attraction. You can also see the panoramic view of Tengwang Pavilion from outside, but the angle for taking pictures is not so good.
