Bajingtai Pavilion

　　Introduction     Bajingtai Pavilion is situated within Bajing Park in the northern part of Ganzhou City, where the Zhang River and the Gong River converge. It is a provincial-level key scenic area. The pavilion was built during the Jiayou era (1056–1063) of the Northern Song Dynasty. It got its name after Magistrate Kong Zonghan constructed the platform and commissioned the painting “Eight Scenic Views of Qianzhou,” then invited the poet Su Shi to compose poems based on the paintings. Over the dynasties, numerous scholars have left inscriptions here. Built against the ancient city wall, the two-story Bajingtai Pavilion stands 28.5 meters high and covers a total area of 574 square meters. With its red walls and green-tiled roof, the structure is majestic and spectacular, perched atop the ancient city wall at the confluence of the Zhang and Gong Rivers. From the top, visitors can enjoy views of emerald waters, white sails, green trees, and red buildings, while a refreshing river breeze greets them, creating a truly uplifting experience.      Transportation        Bajingtai Pavilion is located at the northernmost part of the urban area. Head north along Wenqing Road to Jianguo Road, and follow Jianguo Road all the way to the end to reach it.
