Jiangning Guild Hall
江宁会馆
A guild hall converted in the Jiaqing era of the Qing by Nanjing herb merchants from the Yuanjue Temple, with a complete opera stage and bell and drum towers.
Jiangning Guild Hall lies on the north side of Guquan Road. In 1807, the twelfth year of the Jiaqing reign, Nanjing herb merchants pooled funds to convert Yuanjue Temple into a guild hall. It retains 52 historic structures, including the mountain gate, opera stage, side wings, bell tower, drum tower, viewing tower, main hall and side halls. It is the best-preserved of the guild halls in the Beiguan district and shows the architectural tastes of the Jiangnan merchant guilds. It receives far fewer visitors than Huaxilou, making it a good detour for anyone interested in historic architecture. Opening hours and admission should be checked on site.
