Brief Introduction
Located 7 kilometers west of Kunming, at the lake shore of Dianchi Lake, the Grand View Pavilion was built in 1682, by a Buddhist monk named Qianyin. But it had been in disarray, destroyed and restored several times because of the dynastic changes and the civil wars.
Decorated with flying eaves and splendid paintings, the present-day pavilion is a square, three-storied pavilion established in 1883. It provides a spectacular view across sparkling Dianchi Lake to the distant Western Hills. Grand View Pavilion (Daguanlou) itself offers great views of Dianchi Lake.
It is also inscribed with a 180 character poem describing the beauty and history of the area. This poem is the longest of its kind in Chinese literature.
The construction of the Tower is that of a typical well-preserved wooden pagoda. Other sceneries like Santan Yingyue, Louwailou and Lu Garden, also beautiful places, deserve a visit.
