CHINA, Hebei, Baoding |
Ciyunge means Benevolent Cloud Building. The exact year of its construction is unknown. According to the records, it was reconstructed in 1306 during the Yuan dynasty. It was listed as a National Cultural Heritage Site in 1996.
Ciyunge was originally divided into three sections: the front, middle, and rear, but only the middle section remains. The three-by-three bay, brick and timber building faces south. It occupies 142 sq m and is around 13 m high. It has a double-eave hip-and-gable roof covered in clay tiles and the eaves are supported by bracket sets. The building retains most of its original architectural features. |
