Chayuan Wanshou Palace Ancient Theater

　　As one of the rare well-preserved modern-era theater buildings — the Chayuan Street Wanshou Palace Theater — it dates back about 200 years. Due to its unique architectural structure, exquisite stone and wood carvings, and significant historical value, it was listed as a county-level key cultural relic protection unit by the Jinsha County government in the 1980s. Since 2003, through the advocacy of the county Party committee’s propaganda department, the county culture and tourism bureau, and the Chayuan Township government, along with the persistent efforts of the county cultural relics management office, it has garnered high attention from provincial and regional cultural authorities. Over 10,000 yuan was allocated for the protective restoration of Wanshou Palace, helping to maintain the building’s original appearance. Recently, at the request of provincial and regional cultural departments, the county cultural relics management office visited Chayuan Township, where staff from the county TV station filmed both the interior and exterior of the Wanshou Palace Theater to create a special documentary video, which was submitted for evaluation as a provincial-level key cultural relic protection unit. This exquisite ancient building, the Chayuan Wanshou Palace Theater, will receive better protection and development.
