Wenchang Pavilion, Heritage pavilion in Yangzhou, China.

The three-story Wenchang Pavilion features nine angled roofs with traditional eaves, creating a symmetrical architectural structure in the center of Yangzhou.

Built in 1609 during the Ming Dynasty's Wanli period, the pavilion underwent multiple renovations throughout the Qing Dynasty's Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong eras.

The pavilion was established for the veneration of Emperor Wenchang and remains a central monument in Chinese architectural heritage.

Located at the intersection of Wenhe Road and Wenchang Road in the Guangling District, the pavilion welcomes visitors daily from 9:00 to 17:00.

The structure stands as the sole pavilion in China combining three stories, three eaves, and nine angled roofs in its architectural design.
