Tianyi Pavilion Hundred Geese Pavilion

Tianyi Pavilion Hundred Geese Pavilion

The Hundred Geese Pavilion is located within the Tianyi Pavilion Museum and belongs to its garden leisure area. Originally, the Hundred Cranes Pavilion was a ceremonial pavilion in front of a Ming Dynasty tomb on Zuguang Mountain before being relocated here. The Hundred Geese Pavilion features uniquely shaped bracket sets (dougong) on its roof, making it highly worthwhile to admire.

A series of tourist attractions have been built in the garden leisure area, including the Ming Pond, rockeries, corridors, a forest of steles, the Hundred Geese Pavilion, and the Ninghui Hall. These attractions are well laid out and staggered in arrangement, achieving the artistic effect of “created by man yet resembling nature,” providing a place for leisure and appreciation of Jiangnan-style garden scenery.

In 1994, the Ningbo Museum merged with the Tianyi Pavilion Cultural Relics Conservation Office to establish the Tianyi Pavilion Museum. Adjacent to the scenic Moon Lake, it is the oldest existing library in China, the oldest library in Asia, and one of the three oldest family libraries still in existence in the world. It has now expanded into three major functional areas: book culture, exhibitions, and garden leisure. Integrating book culture, social history, and art and culture, it serves as a window showcasing the historical and cultural heritage of Ningbo.
