Tengwang Pavilion

The magical light show was truly breathtaking. From the historical evolution of Nanchang to the rise and fall of the Tengwang Pavilion, the narrative flowed seamlessly, and the actors' performances were quite good. It's definitely worth seeing.

I managed to get into the park in the last four minutes before closing time. I initially thought they wouldn't let us in, but the staff told us we had a few minutes left and to hurry! Haha, thankfully I didn't give up and made it. There weren't too many people in the evening, but the weather wasn't great; it rained the whole time. However, it didn't affect the visit to Tengwang Pavilion. The pavilion is magnificent and well worth the trip. The view of Nanchang at night from the pavilion is truly beautiful. I've always felt that a trip to Nanchang isn't complete without climbing Tengwang Pavilion. My first trip to Nanchang was to see the National Day flag-raising ceremony, and this is my second time here. It would be a shame not to climb Tengwang Pavilion again. This trip finally fulfilled my wish.

Got my ticket on Trip, and had to exchange for a physical ticket (they'll automatically assign a designated seat) at the Ticketing Office. Show is at 1945 hrs and one can enter from 1845 hrs. There's really no hurry to enter early since it's assigned seating. I was lucky to get a seat in Area 3, which is in the middle section, facing the Pavilion directly. At the start they had some audience engagement activities with giveaways and also sale of calligraphy artwork by 王刚亮, a famous calligrapher, who claims 王羲之 as his great-great-great-grand teacher.The actual performance brings the Pavilion's history to life, through projection, drama, dance and music including fire acrobatics, pyrotechnics and mobile sets. Glad that it's tiered seating for unblocked views. Overall it's an enjoyable 45 mins that I highly recommend.

Tengwang Pavilion is located on Yanjiang Road, Donghu District, Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province, close to the intersection of the east bank of Ganjiang River and the old course of Fuhe River. It was built in the fourth year of Tang Yonghui (653) by Li Yuanying, the Prince of Teng, the younger brother of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin. It was once an important symbol of ancient Yuzhang civilization. It became famous all over the world because of the "Preface to Tengwang Pavilion" by Wang Bo, a poet in the early Tang Dynasty. It is as famous as Yueyang Tower and Yellow Crane Tower and is known as "the three famous towers in Jiangnan". The ticket is 50 yuan. If you don't go upstairs, you can enter from the south gate or north gate for free. The lights are turned on at 18:00 at night. The night view is very beautiful. It is recommended to watch the night view.

When you first arrive in Nanchang, the first place you must visit is Tengwang Pavilion. This long-renowned one of the three famous towers in Jiangnan was built in the Tang Dynasty and has survived through vicissitudes. Climbing up the main pavilion of Tengwang Pavilion, you can see that the three-story corridor building has a very majestic appearance. Passing through the prologue hall, you can see a white marble statue "The wind sends Tengwang Pavilion when the time comes", and in front of it is the famous arch couplet "The setting sun and the solitary wild goose fly together, and the autumn water and the sky are the same color". Walking into the hall, there are many plaques and couplets by famous artists hanging on the walls, all of which reveal the extraordinary status of Tengwang Pavilion. Climbing up to the second floor, you can see that the walls are covered with portraits of outstanding figures in Jiangxi from the pre-Qin Dynasty to the late Ming Dynasty, which is amazing. Coming to the North Ear Hall on the third floor, there is a small teahouse where tourists can rest and enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. Finally, I came to the fifth floor, which is the best place to view the scenery. I saw Su Shi's "Preface to Tengwang Pavilion" engraved on the copper plate on the wall of the central hall, and there was a statue of Wang Bo holding a wine glass next to it. Climbing up and looking far, I saw the rolling waves of the Ganjiang River, and the scene of "the setting sun and the solitary wild geese flying together, and the autumn water and the sky being the same color" slowly unfolded before my eyes. I couldn't help but sigh that despite the vicissitudes of life, Tengwang Pavilion still retains the charm of Jiangnan classical architecture, which is very desirable. When I left, I reluctantly walked out of Tengwang Pavilion. This ancient building that has gone through vicissitudes and still stands here has undoubtedly become a landmark of Nanchang City, telling the world about its unique cultural heritage and historical charm.
