CHINA, Hebei, Baoding
Ciyunge means Benevolent Cloud Building. The exact year of its construction is unknown. According to the records, it was reconstructed in 1306 during the Yuan dynasty. It was listed as a National Cultural Heritage Site in 1996.
Ciyunge was originally divided into three sections: the front, middle, and rear, but only the middle section remains. The three-by-three bay, brick and timber building faces south. It occupies 142 sq m and is around 13 m high. It has a double-eave hip-and-gable roof covered in clay tiles and the eaves are supported by bracket sets. The building retains most of its original architectural features.
