📜 Histoire

The Pavilion of Prince Teng was first built in 653 AD by Li Yuanying, the younger brother of Emperor Taizong of Tang, who was then the governor of Nanchang. It gained eternal fame through the 'Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng' written by the Tang poet Wang Bo, a masterpiece of Chinese literature. Over the centuries, the pavilion has been destroyed by war and fire 29 times. The current structure, built between 1985 and 1989, is based on the architectural style of the Song Dynasty and stands as a symbol of Nanchang's enduring cultural spirit.
