  • Near Tianxin Pavilion, there is also a paifang (ceremonial archway) called "Chonglie Gate," built in 1946 to commemorate the soldiers who sacrificed during the three major battles of Changsha in the Anti-Japanese War.
  • The main building of Tianxin Pavilion is subject to a fee (including Tianxin Pavilion and the surrounding ancient city wall), while Tianxin Park is open to the public for free. The entire Tianxin Pavilion building is supported by forty-six red lacquered round pillars, with chestnut-tiled and white walls, and a thick and solid gray-white stone base. The stone railings in front and behind the pavilion are carved with 62 stone lions, and 32 wind chimes are hung on the pavilion, ringing in the wind.
