Tengwang Pavilions is one of the three most famous pavilions sitting on the south side of the Yangtze River, and was originally built during Emperor Taizong's reign in the Tang Dynasty. It has been destroyed several times, most recently in 1926, when it was burnt to the ground, and it was not until 1989 that the temple was rebuilt. The current incarnation of the Tenwang Pavilion is a nine story construction, built in an architectural style typical of the Song Dynasty , 12 meters across and decorated with intricately carved beams and flying eaves. Flanking Tengwang Pavilion to the north and south are the two smaller pavilions, simply adorned with jade-green glazed roof tiles, carved wooden screens and strong red pillars.
Additionally, the Tengwang Pavilion has an eclectic collection of musical instruments, bronze sacrifice ornaments, religious ornaments and serial bells that display the true classical elegance of the new pavilion.
