Ciyun Pavilion
Ciyun Pavilion is located in the city of Dingxing County. According to the 'Dingxing County Annals', Ciyun Pavilion was originally named Dabeige, and its exact construction date is unknown. It was named after the bronze statue of the Great Compassion Buddha inside the pavilion and was later destroyed in wartime. In the 10th year of Yuan Dade (1306), monk Debao rebuilt the pavilion on its original site. During the Ming Wanli period, Li Jinchuan renovated it. Because Buddhism values compassion, which is as precious as clouds, it was renamed Ciyun Pavilion. The pavilion was also repaired during the Ming Jiajing and Qing Kangxi periods. The existing structure is still from the Yuan dynasty. Ciyun Pavilion was originally a complex of buildings with a boat-shaped overall layout, divided into front, middle, and rear sections. The front and rear sections have been destroyed, leaving only the middle Ciyun Pavilion.
