Guan Shengdian was built in the Qing and Kang Dynasties (1662- 1722). Nominally, it is a place dedicated to Guan Yu, but actually it is a guild hall for businessmen from five northern provinces, such as Shanxi, Henan, Shandong, Shaanxi and Gansu, so it is called the guild hall of five northern provinces. The whole building consists of three halls: the front hall, the middle hall and the back hall. It faces south to east, and the towering embankment walls on the east and west sides are separated from the surrounding buildings. In front of the middle hall, there is a pair of white marble carved dragon columns, which are beautifully carved, vivid and reasonable in structure. There are still more than ten stone tablets in the temple, among which the most important ones are Monument to the Field in Five Northern Provinces, Rebuilding the Spring and Autumn Pavilion and Cotton Rules, which are important historical materials for understanding the commercial situation in modern Xiangtan. The whole building complex covers an area of 4,066 square meters, with a building area of 3,540 square meters. The wings and halls on both sides of the front hall are basic exhibition rooms, the middle hall is a folk exhibition room, and the back hall is a large exhibition room, with an exhibition line of more than 200 meters.

The newly-built "Three Pavilions" are located in the north of Xiangtan Administrative Center, bordering Huxiang East Road in the south and Huxiang Park and Mengze Lake in the north. The "Three Pavilions" has a total land area of 54.6 mu and a building scale of about 42,000 square meters. It is the key cultural project of Xiangtan City in 2065, 438+05.

The design of the "Three Pavilions" was presided over by Cheng Taining, academician of China Academy of Engineering and master of architectural design. The design concept of the "Three Pavilions" building is based on the geographical environment and human history of Xiangtan, with the theme of "Mountain connecting Da Yue", which implies the profound culture and characteristics of Xiangtan's "learning from things", "learning from nature" and "learning from latitude". Looking at the "Three Pavilion" from a distance, the overall shape is like a sailboat. The red base symbolizes the red cultural background, the white subject symbolizes the heavy cultural connotation of Hunan, and the bare building symbolizes the spirit of Xiangtan people who dare to take responsibility.
