Main attractions

On the front of the attic, there are three golden characters of "Kuixing Pavilion". There is a couplet on the front door. The first couplet reads "fly through Qitai Sujing", and the second couplet reads "a few small streams of smoke". There is also a threshold couplet at the back door. The first couplet is "Kaishui Qingbo rolling to the bottom of the eye", and the second couplet is "Lusheng misty rain towering under the bottle". The top floor of Kuixing Pavilion is the viewing platform. Visitors can have a panoramic view of Kaili new town from here to the south. Looking to the west, the towering Xianglu mountain stands in the purple fog, echoing Kuixing Pavilion. Overlooking the north, with the sound of sirens, the Hunan Guizhou railway runs from east to west, and the beautiful Qingshui river meanders through the mountains. The appearance of the pavilion is pagoda shaped, with a total height of 23 meters. It has five floors and six roofs. The eaves are tilted. The second, third and fourth floors of the attic are surrounded by corridors, which can help the bars spiral up. The highest floor is the viewing platform. As the pavilion is built on the top of Longshan mountain, it is 764 meters above sea level, so it is a good place to overlook the scenery of Kaili. Looking south, you can have a panoramic view of Kaili new city; looking west, you can see the huge peak of Xianglu mountain standing in the sky. As a couplet on the bottom door of the pavilion describes: "Kaishui clear wave rolling to the eye, furnace peak rain towering stand under the bottle."

In 1985, new buildings such as foot hanging teahouse, Xiling Pavilion, rock Eagle Pavilion and Monument Square were built in the reconstruction, and all the trees and flowers such as pine, cypress, maple, Yang, Rong, Wutong, privet were planted in a quiet environment.
