Zhenwushan Ancient Building Complex
真武山古建筑群
A Ming-era Taoist temple complex on the southern slope of Yibin's old town, with dozens of halls, including the Xuanzu Hall and Wangjiang Tower, built into the hillside and overlooking the Three Rivers confluence.
The Zhenwushan Ancient Building Complex is on Zhenwu Mountain, south of Yibin's old town. Construction began during the Wanli reign of the Ming dynasty. It is one of the better-preserved Ming and Qing Taoist architectural complexes in Sichuan. Dozens of halls survive, including the Xuanzu Hall, Sanfu Palace, Doumu Palace and Wangjiang Tower, stacked along the contours of the mountain among ancient trees. It is a national key cultural relic protection unit. Climbing the stone steps takes about 20 minutes. From the Wangjiang Tower area, you can look down on the Three Rivers confluence, where the Jinsha and Min rivers merge into the Yangtze. Admission is free or low-cost (subject to on-site confirmation). A visit takes about 1.5 hours. It is about a 15-minute walk from Daguan Tower to the foot of the mountain.
