Seeking the Most Beautiful Ancient Architecture in Liangshan: Dechang Kui Xing Pavilion

🌏 Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan has a long history and profound cultural heritage, and has been an important town in southwest China since ancient times. Liangshan Prefecture has 17 counties and cities, and its charm extends beyond Xichang. This in-depth tour of Liangshan Prefecture is a niche cultural trip focused on discovering ancient architecture. 🔥 About Dechang: Dechang County, an hour's drive from Xichang, was an important stop on the ancient 'Southern Silk Road' and 'Tea Horse Road'. It still retains many historical and cultural relics, among which the provincial-level cultural relic protection unit, Kui Xing Pavilion (Bell and Drum Tower), is a representative. 🏯 About Kui Xing Pavilion: Originally, there were three Kui Xing Pavilions in Dechang, divided into upper, middle, and lower pavilions. Now, only the middle pavilion remains. The existing building has a history of over a hundred years. Inside the pavilion, there is a statue of the Kui Xing deity, where scholars and students come to worship, hoping for the deity's assistance in writing, to foster the local literary atmosphere. 🖼️ The archway of Kui Xing Pavilion has the inscription 'Reaching to the Capital' on the south side and 'Connecting to Mengzhao' on the north side, which revives the ancient cultural charm of the 'Southern Silk Road'. Standing in front of the building, one is moved by thoughts of the past. Climbing the building, one can see the entire city and suburbs, but unfortunately, it is not currently open to the public, and visitors can only go up to the base of the pavilion. 🎫 Ticket: Free admission. 📍 Address: No. 76, Dongfeng Road, Dezhou Street, Dechang County, Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture. Dechang County is small, and the attractions are not far from each other. It is recommended to take a taxi or bike there. The area around Kui Xing Tower is a famous ancient street in Dechang. Walking through it, observing the cultural relics, and experiencing the local life is the true essence of travel.
