Hangzhou City God Pavilion (Chenghuangge) – The Millennium Guardian of Wushan Hill

#chinatravel

A Floating Palace Above Imperial Street
Perched atop Wushan Hill, this Song-style pavilion (rebuilt in 2001) is more than just the best panoramic viewpoint of West Lake—it’s a living chronicle of Hangzhou’s history. With its cross-ridge roof crafted to exact Song Dynasty architectural standards, the pavilion glows at night like a celestial lantern suspended in the sky.
