About Yuhuang Pavilion, Yinchuan
A Taoist pavilion complex on an 8 m brick-faced platform in the old centre of Yinchuan, rebuilt as a Jade Emperor temple after the earthquake of 1739 on the site of a drum tower first built in the Yongle era of the Ming. A two-storey hall flanked by bell and drum towers crowns the platform, which is pierced by an arched gateway, and the halls reopened for exhibitions after refurbishment in 2015.
