Nuodeng Yuhuang Pavilion & Confucian Temple
诺邓玉皇阁与文庙
A complex of Taoist and Confucian buildings on the hilltop of the ancient village, with exquisite timber halls and views over the whole of Nuodeng.
Yuhuang Pavilion stands high on the western hill of Nuodeng village, beside the Confucian Temple and the Martial Temple. Built in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it has beautifully painted caisson ceilings. In front stands a wooden archway inscribed 'Teng Jiao Qi Feng' (Dragons Leap, Phoenixes Rise). It is the largest ancient building complex in Nuodeng and reflects the wealth and scholarly tradition of the old salt village. A walk of about 20 minutes up the village's stone steps leads to it. Looking back from the top, you can see the layered rooftops of the houses and the valley below, a great spot for panoramic photos of the old village.
