Yuhuang Pavilion (Jade Emperor)
 

This refers to a group of structures built on a rectangular rammed-earth platform 37 meters long, 28.1 meters wide, and 8 meters high, situated at the crossroads between Jiefang and Yuhuangge streets in Yinchuan The center of the platform is occupied by a southern-facing main hall under a double gable-and-hipped roof, which is linked in the south to another hall which features a curved-canopy roof. A portico, looking exquisite under a curved-canopy roof, is built into the facade of the main hall. A bell tower under a double-eaved roof sits symmetrically at one end of the main building with a drum tower at the other end. Both floors of the building are graced with red-lacquered doors, and its latticed windows are covered with richly embroidered panes. The balcony, surrounded by red-painted balustrades, provides an overview of the surrounding landscape. The entire complex, laid out providently, is a paragon of traditional Chinese architecture.
