Siwang Pavilion, one of the landmarks in the center of Yangzhou city, is located in the middle of the road, 350 meters north of Wenchang Pavilion, surrounded by a variety of food, drink, entertainment and leisure activities.
The Siwang Pavilion has eight sides and three floors. Unlike the white powder painted walls of Wenchang Pavilion, its walls are built with blue bricks. The building does not have lights on most nights.
The Siwang Pavilion is located at the intersection of Siwang Pavilion Road and Wenhe North Road in Guangling District, Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province. It is one of the landmark buildings in Yangzhou City.
The Siwang Pavilion was first built in the 38th year of the Jiajing reign (1559 AD) of the Ming Dynasty(1368-1644) . It was originally a part of Jiangdu County School and later served as a watchtower for the Taiping Heavenly Army ( in 1856-1864), witnessing the brutal scenes of the Taiping Army and Qing Army fighting. The first floor of Siwang Pavilion has doorways in all four directions, but now all four doorways are fenced off and cannot be visited inside.
There are many shopping malls and restaurants in the surrounding area from Siwang Pavilion to Wenchang Pavilion, with convenient transportation. Siwangting Road, where Siwangting is located, is already a commercial street and a food street. Walking 250 meters west is Huaihai Road Food Street; 800 meters east is the historical block of Dongguan Street, where Yangzhou's specialty snacks and tourist souvenirs converge; Walk 500 meters north to have morning tea at the Yechun Tea House in Yechun Garden, which is only 400 meters away from Shouxi Lake.
Due to the fact that Siwang Pavilion is not located at the intersection of the main street like Wenchang Pavilion, and most nights do not have lights on, its reputation is slightly inferior to Wenchang Pavilion.
