Pavilion of Prince Teng, Ancient pavilion in Donghu District, China

The Pavilion of Prince Teng stands 57.5 meters tall on the east bank of the Gan River, featuring nine stories of traditional Chinese architecture.

Li Yuanying, brother of Emperor Taizong, constructed the original pavilion in 653 AD while serving as governor of Nanchang during the Tang Dynasty.

Wang Bo's literary work 'Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng' established this structure as a significant monument in Chinese classical literature.

The pavilion contains multiple amenities across its floors, including a theater for performances, restaurants, and shops selling traditional Chinese items.

Throughout its existence, the structure underwent 29 complete reconstructions, with the current version completed in 1989 following designs by architect Liang Sicheng.

Location: Donghu District

Part of: Eleven Chinese Historical and Cultural Buildings, Three Great Towers of Jiangnan
