Image description:
|
Named after a Chinese folk expression, "Where there are bamboo groves there are houses," and "With a Parasol tree (Firmiana simplex) in his yard, one is assured of a phoenix's coming and good fortune." It is a square pavilion with a hipped gable roofline and flying eaves. Each of the four sides are walled with a large moon gate in the wall creating a gai tian (celestial) symbolism.
