The Tea Offering Pavilion
The Tea Offering Pavilion is situated on the western side of the reservoir halfway up the mountain on the route to Anshan Academy. It is a wooden pavilion topped with a traditional hip-and-gable roof. The pavilion is said to have been constructed as part of the local "tea competition" custom, hence it is also known as the Tea Competition Pavilion. The villagers of Chuanlian continue the longstanding rural tradition of generosity in Suichang by serving locally produced tea to visitors and performing tea ceremonies. The pavilion also serves as a resting spot for tourists and offers a panoramic view of the entire Chuanlian area.
