Waterfront building is a scenic building built by water in ancient China. The studio built on a high platform during the Warring States period was originally called a pavilion. From the pavilion, it has the significance of military architecture and also has the function of viewing.
There are many records of "Tai Gao, Gong Mei" and "Tai Ting" in the literature of Qin and Han Dynasties. After the Han dynasty, with the disappearance of high-rise buildings, pavilions built on high-rise buildings moved to the water among flowers and became sightseeing buildings for people to have a rest in the garden.
Most waterside pavilions protrude from the revetment and are supported on the water by columns. Most buildings are single-story, flat, square or rectangular, light in structure, open on all sides and wide in vision. On the side near the water, the permanent bench railing and arched backrest are called beauty loungers or flying chairs for people to sit on.

In order to make the garden promising, feasible, tourable and livable, it is necessary to build various corresponding buildings in the garden. However, the buildings in the garden should not overwhelm or destroy the main body, but should highlight the main body of the landscape and integrate with the landscape nature, so as to achieve the organic integration of nature and architecture and sublimate it into works of art.
