Architectures I like• I like Pavilions (Ting 亭 ) because of how
poised and elegant they look. They have the curved ends of the roofs and pillars. They normally reside in areas with a lot of nature. They are very decorated, and the pillars are normally red.

because of how magnificent and beautiful they are. They tower over other buildings, and normally sit on a platform with stairs one must climb. They have upturned, curved roof ends, and are multiple stories high.
