Introduction

Located in the Qingfeng Gorge at the foot of Yuelu Mountain in Changsha City, Hunan Province, the "Aiwan Pavilion" is known as one of the "Four Famous Pavilions in China" along with Taoran Pavilion, Huxin Pavilion, and Drunken Old Man's Pavilion. It is a cultural relic protection unit in Hunan Province. The pavilion has a double-eaved octagonal shape with glazed green tiles and flying corners, resembling a floating palace when viewed from a distance. The interior features red garden columns, and the outer canopy is made of granite. The pavilion's ceiling is painted with seaweed patterns, and there are red lacquered gold letters of "Aiwan Pavilion" hanging on the window frames, which were made according to Chairman Mao's handwriting by Li Da, the former president of Hunan University, who wrote a letter to Chairman Mao. In November, when the maple leaves turn red, the Aiwan Pavilion always becomes one of the popular tourist spots on Douyin (TikTok).
