Introduction to King Yu’s Palace: King Yu’s Palace, also known as Qianlong’s Palace and Guanyin Palace, is located at the northern end of the central axis. During Qianlong's six visits to the south of the Yangtze River, he was lucky enough to stay here five times, all of which he stayed at night upstairs in this palace, so people also called it the "Main Palace". The Yuwang Palace is a palace-style masterpiece with double eaves and hard hills. The roof is decorated with yellow glazed tiles and dragon kisses. The main hall is divided into upper and lower floors, covering an area of ​​360 square meters. It is seven rooms wide and five rooms deep. It is built with bluestone slabs. The 1-meter-high Xumi Platform is more than 20 meters high, making it the tallest palace in the "Dragon King Temple Palace". A vermilion plaque with large gold characters "Gong Chong Li Book" hangs on the forehead square on the ground floor. The bright room of the main hall is dedicated to the wooden carved and gilded seated statue of King Yu. In the attic in the west room of the main hall, Guanyin of the South China Sea sits on a lotus throne and accepts the prayers of the people.
