The pavilion faces a river on one side. When people enter it, they will see through one of its windows a group of four trees standing on the opposite bank of the river. On the trees there are four yellow silhouettes of bird which Zhang crafted with metal.

After sunset, the pavilion and the trees are all lit up to create an atmosphere of romance and serenity.

Zhang named his work A Room With a View of Nightingales. "People who travel here will enjoy the scenery all the way, but there are very few roadside facilities for a rest. That was how I came up with the idea of making a piece of art that also provided a temporary shelter for travelers," he says.

Zhang also drew inspiration from Jingyang's status as a favored habitat for several species of migratory birds and, as such, is a popular spot for bird watching.

"When I stayed briefly for the work, I always heard the birds. My creation is also centered around the activity of bird watching and the harmony between people and their surroundings."
