Wenchang Pavilion, Historical pavilion in Yunyan District, China.

The three-story structure with nine angled roofs stands in the eastern section of Guiyang city, featuring traditional Chinese architectural elements.

Built in 1609 during the Ming Dynasty reign of Wanli, the pavilion underwent reconstruction in 1669 and received multiple expansions throughout the Qing Dynasty period.

The pavilion functioned as a place of worship dedicated to Emperor Wenchang and continues to represent an important symbol of Guiyang's heritage.

Located at 29 Wenchang Street, the pavilion welcomes visitors daily from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM without requiring an entrance fee.

This structure distinguishes itself as China's only pavilion combining three stories, three eaves, and nine angled roofs in its architectural design.
