Introduction to Wanchun Pavilion and Qianqiu Pavilion: Wanchun Pavilion and Qianqiu Pavilion are located south of Fubi Pavilion and Chengrui Pavilion respectively in the Imperial Garden. They were built in the 15th year of Jiajing reign of Ming Dynasty (1536). They are a pair of buildings with the same shape and structure, with only slight differences in the caisson paintings.
The two pavilions have round spires, known as "an umbrella" style, and have yellow glazed bamboo tiles. The top of the treasure is composed of a colorful glass vase supporting a gilded canopy. The roof below the upper circle adopts the shape of the ancient Mingtang imitating the "round sky and square place". The ceiling of the pavilion is painted with double phoenixes, and the inside of the caisson is decorated with gold-carved dragons and pearls in their mouths. The colors are gorgeous and the shape is exquisite. It can be said to be the best pavilion in the palace.
