The most striking architectural feature of this pavilion is the stone staircases with blue stone centers, carved with traditional dragons. The Great Hall is elevated on a 13 meter (43ft) high brick platform from where visitors can enjoy stunning views of the nearby Pan and Yang Lakes.

The pavilion also houses a tablet honoring the emperor and in imperial times, officials, soldiers and civilians would come to pay their respects. Inside the pavilion, there is also a wax figure museum bringing to life stories from the Northern Song period.
