Tengwang Pavilion
Rising high above the bank of the Ganjiang River, the Tengwang Tower was first built in 659AD by the then prefectural governor of Hongzhou (present day Nanchang) Li Yuanming, or Tengwang. Poems written by Tang dynasty (618-907AD) poet Wang Bo have made the tower famous. The tower was rebuilt and repaired 28 times and in 1989 it was renovated in the Song style. This granite structure is 9 storys high and houses numerous gift shops, a tea house, exhibition halls and a natural history museum.
