Dubbed a new cultural and tourism landmark, the Wenhui Pavilion in Yangzhou, East China's Jiangsu province was reopened to the public on April 19.

The pavilion, which was built in 1780, marked a milestone in China's history of collecting books.

One of the seven national libraries that have the Si Ku Quan Shu, which was compiled during the Emperor Qianlong period (1736-1795) of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), the pavilion played a significant role in promoting the city's culture, said Wei Minghua, a culture expert in Yangzhou.

The rebuilt pavilion will function as an institution for the collection, research, showcase and promotion of the Si Ku Quan Shu, as well as a public cultural venue for intangible cultural heritage experience and study tours, said local authorities.

There is an exhibition area on the first floor of the pavilion and a bookstore in the basement where visitors can learn about block printing techniques, as well as buy block printing books and cultural and creative products such as postcards and bookmarks.
