Fangshan Yuxu Palace

Fangshan Yuxu Palace

Yuxu Palace is located in Baoshan Mountain, 3 kilometers northwest of Huangshandian Village, Huangshandian Township, Fangshan District. The construction date of Yuxu Palace is unknown, but the existing structure was rebuilt during the Guangxu reign of the Qing Dynasty. Yuxu Palace consists of three parts: the front palace, the rear palace, and the pagoda courtyard. The front palace has a traditional Chinese courtyard layout, with two stone tablets erected in front of the main hall. The rear palace is situated at roughly the same elevation as the ridge of the main hall of the front palace and also features a courtyard layout. The pagoda courtyard is located about 50 meters from the rear palace and contains four pagodas. Three of the pagodas were built in the first year of the Xuantong reign of the Qing Dynasty (1909). Another pagoda, located about 30 meters away from these three, stands approximately 7 meters tall. Of the three adjacent pagodas, which are aligned in a straight line and spaced about 7 meters apart, they share the same architectural style—octagonal, brick structures, each around 7 meters in height.
