Yiran Pavilion

Yiran Pavilion in the Gucheng District of Lijiang is characterized by its traditional timber frame construction, a style deeply rooted in the architectural evolution of the Naxi people. The pavilion sits as a reflection of the regional craftsmanship that prioritized interlocking wood joinery over the use of nails, a technique that has allowed such structures to persist through the mountainous terrain and seismic history of Yunnan province.
