The Wenyuan Chamber (simplified Chinese: 文渊阁; traditional Chinese: 文淵閣; pinyin: Wényuān Gé), an imperial library of the Qing dynasty in the Forbidden City in Beijing, was built by Qianlong Emperor in 1776. It stored numerous works, including a copy of the Siku Quanshu. The architecture style of Wenyuan Chamber was based on the renowned Tianyi Chamber in Ningbo.
Wenjin Chamber in the Chengde Mountain Resort is another remaining imperial library of the Qing dynasty.
At present, the Wenyuan Chamber is not open to the public.
