Dragon Pavilion sits within Dragon Pavilion Park, a sprawling green space that was once the site of the Song dynasty's imperial palace. The pavilion itself, rebuilt in the Qing dynasty, stands on a high stone platform and features a distinctive double-eaved roof. From the top, visitors enjoy sweeping views of the park and the city beyond. The park also includes the ruins of the palace foundations, a lake for boating, and gardens with ancient trees. It's a favorite spot for both history buffs and locals seeking relaxation.
