Daguan Lou, Historical pavilion in Xishan District, China
The three-story Daguan Lou stands within a 478,000-square-meter park, featuring traditional Chinese architecture alongside Dianchi Lake in Kunming.
Built in 1696 by Yunnan governor Wang Jiwen, the pavilion underwent multiple reconstructions due to warfare and floods before its restoration in 1883.
The pavilion holds Sun Ran's masterful composition of 118 characters carved into gateposts, recognized as the longest rhyming couplets in Chinese literature.
Visitors can access Daguan Lou through public transportation, with entrance tickets required for both the pavilion and surrounding Daguan Park complex.
Seven distinct tourist areas compose the grounds, including Jinhuapu, Louwailou, Mindscape Garden, East Garden, Yu Manor, Lu Garden, and New West Garden.
