Chuanbei Circuit Yamen

川北道署

A reconstructed Qing-era government office of the Chuanbei Circuit, laid out like a yamen, with a main hall, second hall and sealing rooms, and regular court scene performances.

In the Qing dynasty, Langzhong was the seat of the Chuanbei Circuit, which governed several prefectures in northern Sichuan. The Chuanbei Circuit Yamen sits in the northern part of the old town, not far from the Chuanbei Circuit Imperial Examination Hall. It has been rebuilt following the layout of a Qing government office. From the screen wall, main gate, ceremonial gate and hall to the second hall and rear courtyard, the buildings unfold in order, and the interior displays ancient official systems, instruments of punishment and the history of Langzhong. The site stages scenes such as court sessions and trials, with times set by on-site notices. Tickets can be bought separately or with the old-town combined ticket, subject to published prices. Visitors are advised to tour it together with the Chuanbei Circuit Imperial Examination Hall and Zhang Fei Temple.
