Wenchang Palace Ruins
文昌宮遺址
About
Located in Ciqikou Old Town, this was once a magnificent temple dedicated to the God of Literature and a gathering place for scholars. Unfortunately, this exquisite ancient complex was destroyed during the Anti-Japanese War by Japanese bombings. Today, although only ruins remain, the weathered foundations and restored scenery still convey the rich cultural atmosphere and heavy historical significance of the old town.
Tip
💡
Free admission, great for a stop during your old town walk. Offers views of the Jialing River and an excellent window into Ciqikou's historical changes and wartime memory.
