Tengwang Pavilion

Tengwang Pavilion stands next to 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 repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt, the current building has been renovated in modern times, and it is difficult to feel the magnificence of the ancients, "the setting clouds and the solitary owl flying together, the autumn water and the sky are one color", but it is still a must-visit attraction for people who come to Nanchang one. Visiting Tengwang Pavilion in Nanchang is always a very ritualistic thing.

The scenic spot mainly consists of the main pavilion of Tengwang Pavilion and small gardens on the north and south sides. The main purpose of tourists coming here is to climb the tower and look into the distance. The main pavilion looks like a three-story building with a corridor from the outside. In fact, it has three dark floors and an equipment floor. Plus the two-story base, there are nine floors in total.

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 Sending to Prince Teng's Pavilion". In front of the door is an arch couplet of "The setting sun and the solitary owl fly together, and the autumn water forms the same color as the sky." Walking around the hall, you can see many plaques and couplets written by famous artists, which make 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 late 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. The fifth floor is a good place for viewing. The essence of the entire Tengwang Pavilion is here. The "Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion" carved on a copper plate on the wall of the middle hall is written by Su Shi. Next to it is a statue of Wang Bo holding a wine glass. In the center of the east hall is a panoramic model of Prince Teng's Pavilion. Walking in the corridor, looking at the vast water of Ganjiang River, although the opposite bank has long been lined with high-rise buildings, it is no longer the same scenery as it used to be, but I always feel a little emotional when I think about the scene where literati recited poems and composed poems here.

The next floor up is an antique stage, with a golden plaque of "Tengwang Pavilion" written by Su Dongpo hanging under the eaves. After coming down from the main pavilion, if you have enough time, you can go shopping in the South Garden and North Garden. The antique garden environment is good. If you want to save money, you can not enter the scenic spot. You can also see the panoramic view of Tengwang Pavilion from outside, but the photo angle is not that good.
