文昌宫

The Wenchang Palace sits atop a stone terrace, its roofline defined by sweeping, upturned eaves that reach toward the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Built during the Qing dynasty, it served as a shrine for scholars preparing for the rigorous imperial examinations. Inside, the scholar officials placed their hopes in Wenchang, the deity of culture. Local families often donated land or livestock to ensure these halls remained pristine, believing the success of their sons in the distant capital depended entirely on the spirit of this place.
