Wulong Temple Wenchang Pavilion
五龙庙文昌阁
A Yuan-dynasty timber hall in the countryside northwest of Langzhong. The beams and brackets of its Wenchang Pavilion are well preserved, and it is one of the oldest surviving wooden buildings in Sichuan.
Wulong Temple sits in the countryside about 25 km northwest of Langzhong city. Its main surviving structure, the Wenchang Pavilion, was built in the Yuan dynasty. It has a single-eave hip-and-gable roof, and its beams and brackets preserve Song and Yuan timber construction techniques. It is considered one of the oldest surviving wooden buildings in Sichuan and is listed as a National Key Cultural Relic Protection Unit. The temple is small and rarely visited, and opening arrangements depend on local conditions. Hiring a car is recommended. The temple can be combined with Yong’an Temple as a “Yuan-dynasty timber architecture” themed route.
