The Dàjìng Gé Pavilion (上海古城墙和大境阁) is a museum and ancient temple of Shanghai, incorporating the last remaining portions of the walls of the Old City of Shanghai. Most of the walls were dismantled in 1912, and today only this portion remains.[https://books.google.com/books?id=_zMVzcQcTz4C&pg=PA155 Frommer's Shanghai by Sharon Owyang p.155]

In 1959 the Dajing Ge Pavilion was listed as a cultural relic and put under municipal protection. It was renovated in 1995, and then opened to the public.

The building houses a temple and a small museum with photographs of ancient Shanghai (上海老城厢史迹展).
