Discover the scholarly tradition behind the imperial Siku Quanshu collection.
Books and imperial scholarship
Wenlan Pavilion is connected with the Siku Quanshu, the imperial collection organised into classics, history, philosophy and literary works during the Qianlong era.
A place in the lake landscape
Wenlan Pavilion belongs to the cultural setting around Gushan, or Solitary Hill. A visit can be combined with the hill’s gardens and other nearby cultural institutions.
Collections and access
The historic pavilion and the surviving book collection should not be assumed to offer the same visitor access. Check current institutional information before planning an indoor visit.
