Nixian Pavilion
拟岘台
A famous riverside tower on the Fu River, first built in the Northern Song dynasty. Zeng Gong wrote 'Record of Nixian Pavilion.' Today's reconstructed Song-style pavilion offers views over the Fu River.
Nixian Pavilion was first built in 1057 during the Jiayou era of the Northern Song dynasty. Pei Cai, then prefect of Fuzhou, constructed the platform on the Fu River southeast of the city, and it was named after Mount Xian in Xiangyang because of its resemblance. Zeng Gong wrote 'Record of Nixian Pavilion' for it, and historically it ranked alongside Tengwang Pavilion and other famous towers of the Jiangnan region. The original platform was destroyed in wartime. The current tower was rebuilt in the early 21st century on the Fu River in Song-style architecture and houses historical and literary exhibits. From the top, visitors can overlook the Fu River and Linchuan's urban area. Ticket policies are subject to on-site confirmation. Allow about one hour for the visit. Getting there: the tower is on the Fu River in Linchuan city and can be combined with the Tang Xianzu Memorial Hall and Menghu Lake on a single urban itinerary.
