Ancient Architecture Oxygen Bar Shuiyue Palace

Shuiyue Palace is located on the southern slope of Shishiyan in the Xinghu Central District, Duanzhou District, Zhaoqing City, Guangdong Province. It is north of Songtai and faces Honglian Lake, classified as a AAAA-level scenic area. The building was originally constructed during the Ming Dynasty Jiajing period (1522-1566) as Guanyin Hall. It was first expanded in the second year of the Wanli reign (1574) by officials and civilians who "joyfully participated." In the ninth year of the Chongzhen reign (1636), it was rebuilt with funds donated by Xiong Wencan, Governor-General of Liangguang. It was destroyed in a Japanese air raid in 1943 and rebuilt in 1957 according to the original design. The main structure is a reinforced concrete imitation ancient palace-style building, consisting of the main hall, east and west wings, and the rear hall. The main hall features flying eaves and dougong brackets, with a courtyard planted with century-old banyan trees and seasonal flowers. Inside the palace is a bronze statue of Marici with two celestial maidens (6 meters tall, weighing 7 tons), recast in 1986. This statue was once famous in Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macau, and Southeast Asian countries. In front of the palace are a pair of Ming Dynasty gray sandstone stone lions, originally belonging to the Governor-General’s Mansion of Liangguang. The building’s name is derived from the Buddhist scripture imagery of "mirror flowers and water moon," dedicated to the incarnation of Shuiyue Guanyin. It is currently the largest palace-style cultural landmark in Qixingyan, serving both as a place for making wishes and blessings, and featuring attractions such as Hanfu photography and nighttime tours.
