## About Chunyang Palace

Chunyang Palace was first built during the Yuan dynasty. Surrounded by red walls, with pavilions, terraces and towers arranged in an irregular yet harmonious layout, it is a five-courtyard complex that combines temple architecture with garden style. Visitors can climb the towering pavilion to look out over the city, feeling as though they have entered a jade palace in the clouds, and take in a panoramic view of the city centre below.
