Tianxin Pavilion

Tianxin Pavilion in Changsha, the captial of Hunan province. The pavilion was built in mid-14th century on top of the ancient city wall - and the wall segment under the pavilion is the last remaining vestige of old Changsha. The pavilion has been remodeled numerous times and destroyed by fire in 1938 during the war with Japan (it was a self-inflicted wound, apparently). The current structure was renovated (and, to a large extent, rebuilt) in 1984. It is considered one of the "ten Famous Chinese Historical and Cultural Towers and Pavilions" [restated from Wikipedia]
