Qingchuan Pavilion

Qingchuan Pavilion, Historical pavilion in Wuhan, China.

Qingchuan Pavilion stands on Yugong Rock at the eastern foot of Guishan in Hanyang, Wuhan, with the Han River to its north and the Yangtze to its east, facing the Yellow Crane Tower across the water. The complex covers about 8,000 square metres and centres on three structures: the 17.5-metre Qingchuan Tower, the Yuji Xinggong hall and the Tiemenguan gate.

Qingchuan Pavilion was built in 1547–1549 by Hanyang prefect Fan Zhizhen while he restored the adjacent Yuji Xinggong, the shrine to Yu the Great. It burned during the 1911 Revolution and the present 17.5-metre building, about 386 square metres, dates from its 1983 reconstruction. The whole complex was rebuilt from 1984 and opened as a park in October 1986.

The name comes from a line in Cui Hao's Tang poem "Deng Huanghe Lou": "qingchuan lili Hanyang shu" (clear river, the trees of Hanyang stand distinct). The pavilion was built in 1547-1549 by Hanyang prefect Fan Zhizhen while restoring the Yuji Xinggong, and with Huanghe Lou, Yueyang Lou and Zhongxuan Lou it counts among the four great towers of Chu. The Yuji Xinggong hall holds an exhibition on water conservancy, and the site is called one of the "three Chu holy places" together with Huanghe Lou and Guqin Tai.

The site lies on Yugong Rock on the east foot of Guishan in Hanyang, with the Han River to the north and the Yangtze to the east. Bus lines 30, 561, 45, 108, 531, 532 and 535 stop at Qingchuan Pavilion on Binjiang Avenue, and a pier opposite the pavilion has ferries crossing the Yangtze. From Zhongjiacun station on metro lines 4 and 6 it is about 2.2 km east.

In the Yubei Pavilion, to the right of the Yuji Xinggong hall, stands a stele said to commemorate Yu the Great's flood control works here around 1900 BCE; a stone carving on its east face records that the pavilion was built in 1770, the 35th year of the Qianlong reign.
