Yugu Pavilion

　　Introduction      Yugu Pavilion is situated atop Mount Helan in the northern part of Ganzhou City. It earned its name from its lofty and solitary position amidst the hills, and is a provincial-level key scenic spot. The original construction date of Yugu Pavilion is unknown, but during the Tang Dynasty, Li Mian, the prefect of Qianzhou, once climbed to the top and looked northward, renaming it “Wangque” (Gazing at the Imperial Palace). After several cycles of destruction and reconstruction, it retained the name Yugu Pavilion. In 1983, it was rebuilt in the style of the Tongzhi era of the Qing Dynasty. The pavilion has three stories, stands 17 meters tall, and covers an area of 300 square meters. Visitors ascending Yugu Pavilion can enjoy a panoramic view of the city.
