Mid-Lake Pavilion was originally built inside Hwaomkyung Temple in Qing Dynasty. Gan Yuanhuan said that "the pavilion was built beside the lake and above water; ripples can be seen around, and the water is clear and bright like a mirror." However, it was destroyed afterwards. In 1958, an island was created in the middle of Mochou Lake in the northeast; next year, Mid-Lake Pavilion was built on the island. The pavilion is an archaistic architecture in wood-brick structure with four sides and eight angles.
