Introduction to the Imperial Stele Pavilion: The center of the Imperial Road is the Imperial Stele Pavilion. It was built in the first year of Qianlong's reign. It was one of the three things Emperor Qianlong did to praise his grandfather, Emperor Kangxi, and set up a monument to extol his virtues. The pavilion is hexagonal in plan and covers an area of ​​53 square meters. Twelve red pillars support an umbrella-shaped yellow glazed tile roof with hexagonal double eaves and pointed roof. Because it is a royal "imperial building", decorated with yellow tiles and shaped like an umbrella, it is also called the "Imperial Umbrella". In those days, if anyone came in through the main entrance, they had to kneel to the "imperial edict" here. The entire imperial stele in the pavilion is covered with the imperial edicts and poems of Emperor Qianlong. It is elegant, upright and elegant. It is extremely rare in China and has high cultural relic value.
