Yupinglou Hotel, formerly known as Wenshuyuan, is said to have been built by the monk Pumen in 1613. Throughout history, it has been destroyed by fires multiple times. The current main building of Yupinglou Hotel was constructed in 1955. It is situated atop the 1,716-meter-high Yuping Peak, resembling a magnificent palace in the sky. To the left, there is the "Lion Stone," and to the right, the "Elephant Stone," creating a natural haven known as the "Guardian of Wenshu." The treasured Welcome Pine, a symbol of the nation, is also located nearby.
