   :

     Wannian Palace now serves as the Zhu Xi Memorial Hall. Inside the palace are two thousand-year-old osmanthus trees, which are said to have been planted by Li Liangzuo when he built the Taoist temple in the second year of the Baoda era (944 AD) during the Southern Tang Dynasty. Later, one of the trees died, and in the Song Dynasty, Zhu Xi replanted another. The two osmanthus trees twist like dragons and snakes, and are known as the "Osmanthus Kings";

      It is the gateway to the Wuyi Mountain scenic area, located at the mouth of the Nine-Bend Stream. Initially built during the Tang Dynasty's Tianbao era (742–755 AD), it was expanded in the Song Dynasty to over 300 rooms. Currently, there remain two Dragon Wells, Wannian Palace, and the Three Pure Ones Hall;

      The Three Pure Ones Hall now houses the International Lanting Academy. Inside the hall are four precious stone tablets: the Zhongding Spirit Way Tablet, Dongtian Xianfu, poems by Ming dynasty’s Gong Yiqing and modern poet Guo Moruo about their visits to Wuyi Mountain;
