Kuixing Pavilion

Formerly known as Qingyun Tower, it was originally located in Longjin Town, southeast of the Confucian school within the south gate of the county seat. It was built in the 36th year of the Jiajing reign during the Ming Dynasty (1557), and was known as the Qingyun Tower, being one of the Eight Scenic Spots of Longjin. In the 23rd year of the Guangxu reign during the Qing Dynasty (1897), Magistrate Wen Lian allocated funds to relocate it to the southeast corner outside the county town (its current location) and renamed it Kuixing Pavilion. It faces south and was later damaged over time. Between 1983 and 1984, the provincial Department of Culture and the county government allocated 30,000 yuan to rebuild it, imitating wooden structures with clustered pillars at the gate, railings and caisson ceilings, imitation glazed cement tile roofing, hip-and-gable double-eave roof design, a single lone stone lion, the radiant figure of the God of Literature, and a shining stone pavilion. In 2005, further funding was secured from higher authorities for restoration, including renovating the roof and replacing all tiles with glazed ones, giving it an even more divine and vibrant appearance, thus taking on a renewed look. It is now a key cultural relic protection unit of the county.
