The lighting moment of Chaoran Pavilion, a landmark of Daming Lake Park, recently went viral on the internet, attracting a large number of visitors to see it on-the-spot and take photos of the moment of beauty.

Chaoran Pavilion has a long history of over 700 years. It was initially built by Jinan native Li Jiong, an official in the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368).

The pavilion went through decay and revival over the years and was restored in 2008.

As a landmark of Jinan, Chaoran Pavilion was listed among famous buildings in China in October 2021.

The 51.7-meter-tall pavilion sits on a wide Chinese jade base and its seven stories are covered with a copper tile roof, giving it a magnificent appearance.
