Wan Pavilion (simplified Chinese: 万楼; traditional Chinese: 萬樓; pinyin: Wàn Lóu) is a Chinese pavilion located in Yuhu District of Changsha, Hunan, China.
History
[edit]Wan Pavilion was originally built in 1615 by magistrate Bao Hongkui (包鸿逵) and named by Li Tengfang , a senior politician in the Ming dynasty (1368–1644),[1] but because of war and natural disasters has been rebuilt numerous times since then. The present version was completed in 2017.[2]
Architecture
[edit]The total height of Wan Pavilion is 63.48-metre (208.3 ft), and the main building is 52.58-metre (172.5 ft). It has nine floors inside and five floors outside, which means "jiuwu zhizun (the imperial throne)" (九五之尊).
