Wenchang Pavilion is located in the old east gate site in Guiyang city. It is a three-story pagoda-shaped building. Because the corners of the cabinet buildings are all even-numbered equal angles, the Wenchang Pavilion with nine corners has become a unique and ancient building that is as famous as the Jiaxiu Building. Wenchang Pavilion is located on the wide and tall East Gate Yuecheng. The building is simple and majestic. There are side halls on both sides of the attic. The front is the fasting room connecting the side halls. There are 9 corrugated woods on the second and third floors of the pavilion, 9 corners on the roof, 54 columns and 81 beams, all of which are multiples of 9. In ancient times, "9" usually represented high power and high rank. The ingenuity is evident. Although Wenchang Pavilion is no longer a Taoist place, but a teahouse for locals, this classic and special ancient building is still worth visiting for tourists who like history and architecture.
