An ancient pavilion has been transformed into ordinary house in Beijing, China.


The pavilion is part of Temple of Yang Jiaoshan(Songyuan Temple), once the residence of Yang Jiaoshan, a Ming Dynasty minister known for his loyalty. Yang Jiaoshan(1516-1555), passed the highest imperial exam during the reign of Emperor Jiajing. He was murdered by Yan Song, a powerful minister whose crimes he had reported to the throne.
