Dajing Pavilion

　　Introduction     Dajing Pavilion was originally part of Shanghai’s city wall. The wall was built during the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty and was demolished after the Xinhai Revolution. During the demolition, a section of the wall that housed the Guan Yu Temple was preserved because the temple displayed a plaque inscribed with “Great Thousand Victorious Realm” (大千胜境), written by Chen Lu, Governor-General of Liangjiang, in the 16th year of the Daoguang reign of the Qing Dynasty. Hence, it came to be known as “Dajing Pavilion.” In the Qing Dynasty, the Xichun Terrace was added, turning the site into a public leisure spot. It was listed as a municipal-level cultural heritage site in 1984. The ground floor of Dajing Pavilion hosts an exhibition on the historical relics of old Shanghai.    Transportation       Address: No. 269, Dajing Road, Xiaobeimen    Buses: Routes 11, 304, 726, 911, 930, etc.
