The Wanchun Pavilion is located at the top of the central peak of Jingshan Park in Beijing and is a landmark building of Jingshan. It was first built during the reign of Emperor Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty and has an exquisitely unique shape.
The pavilion has a triple-eaved pyramidal roof with four corners. The yellow glazed tiles shine brightly under the sunlight, showing the nobility and majesty of the imperial architecture. The upper eaves are formed by the intersection of four diagonal ridges, and the four vertical ridges extend to the four corners respectively, making the outline of the top of the whole pavilion beautiful and smooth, with a strong sense of hierarchy and three-dimensionality. There are beautiful color paintings on the beams and purlins of the Wanchun Pavilion. These color paintings have bright colors and rich patterns, containing profound cultural connotations and artistic values, demonstrating the superb painting and decoration techniques of ancient times.
From the position of the Wanchun Pavilion, the view is extremely wide. One can overlook the entire view of the Forbidden City. The magnificent palace complex with red walls and yellow tiles is all in sight. One can clearly see the layout of the central axis of the Forbidden City and the splendid appearance of the main buildings such as the Three Great Halls, and feel the magnificent momentum of the ancient imperial palace. At the same time, one can also see other important buildings on the central axis of Beijing, such as the Drum Tower and the Bell Tower, as well as part of the city's appearance, and appreciate the beauty of the planning and historical charm of Beijing. The Wanchun Pavilion has witnessed the historical changes of Beijing and carries rich historical and cultural memories.
