Bajing Pavilion

The Bajing Pavilion (Bajing Tai, 八境台 Bājìng Tái) in Ganzhou, Jiangxi province, China is a three-level pavilion located on the northeast corner of the Ganzhou city wall. Zhang River and Gong River join at a confluence as Gan River at its base. Bajing Pavilion was originally built by the municipal governor Kong Zonghan(孔宗翰) during "Jiayou Era" (嘉祐 Jiāyòu) 1056–1063, Song Dynasty. In the following a thousand years, it was burnt down several times. The present pavilion was rebuilt in 1984 and opened in 1987.
