DESCRIPTION:

Pavilions, seen everywhere in the vast land of China, are small buildings closely connected with people's lives in sightseeing and leisure. Pavilions have many functions and different artistic shapes, and they have become an integral feature of both natural scenic spots and man-made parks or gardens. In China, they are so ubiquitous that it is said, "There is no famous mountain without a pavilion," "no rivers or lakes without pavilions," and "no parks or gardens without pavilions." In a park or garden, other buildings might be dispensable, but not pavilions. So, from ancient times to today, pavilions have been associated with parks or gardens.

Multipurpose pavilions may serve as a place for viewing scenery or resting. Their great variety of designs and styles are a reflection of the Chinese culture. Pavilions cover very little land area and come in many styles; thus they are easy and inexpensive to build. However, the decision to build, the choice of a site, the naming of the pavilion, and the couplets hanging there, all reveal much about the spiritual world of the builder. Chinese garden architecture thus concisely captures a great deal of meaning and charm.
