Guide Ancient City & Yuhuang Pavilion
贵德古城
A small ancient town enclosed by Ming-era rammed-earth walls. Its centerpiece, Yuhuang Pavilion, is a wooden tower complex from the Ming and Qing dynasties and a nationally protected heritage site.
Guide Ancient City dates back to the Hongwu era of the Ming dynasty, and parts of its yellow earth walls still stand. Within the old town, the Yuhuang Pavilion complex includes Yuhuang Pavilion, the Dacheng Hall of the Confucian Temple, and the Guan-Yue Temple. The three-story Yuhuang Pavilion, with its upturned eaves, is the landmark of the area and a nationally protected heritage site. The old town sits in the center of the county seat and can be reached on foot. Allow about an hour for a visit. Yuhuang Pavilion requires a separate ticket, and opening hours are posted at the site. The area pairs well with the Huanghe Qing Wetland Park and Zhonghua Fuyun Prayer Wheel for a half-day tour.
