A wooden bridge with red railings on stone piers crosses the water to the stone gate tower of the Wenchang Pavilion, crowned by a two-storey pavilion with green and yellow roofs, among weeping willows, while a boatman poles a punt below. The largest of the six gate towers of the Summer Palace, first built in 1750, burnt in 1860 and rebuilt under Guangxu, it was dedicated to Wenchang, god of literature, and the bridge leads to the Zhichun Pavilion.
