This pavilion stands in the Northern Section, more exactly, a corner on the northern slope 474 m east of Yellow Crane Tower and about 200 m northeast of White Cloud Pavilion. It was erected to memorize Zhang Yong by residents in Song Dynasty.

Records about Song Poetry writes, Zhang Yong often went to Yellow Crane Tower and composed poems thereon while he held Northern Transport Commissioner of Jinghubei Circuit (now Hubei Province). In particular, Ascending Yellow Crane Tower reveals his sighs about the tortuous officialdom and his desires for a reclusive life.

Later a pavilion was built at the site where he had composed poems and therefore named “Recluse Pavilion.” In Qing Era, the pavilion was seated in the Office of Provincial Administration Commission (now Smenkou, Wuchang), yet later destroyed for some reason.

In 1993, the pavilion was erected again and seated against the north. This structure features 6 cylindrical columns and sloping roof. The 4.43-m-high hexagon has a front arc of 2.97 m length and a rear arc of 6.8 m that are spaced by a distance of 3 m. All materials used are actually red sandstones from Mount Huang of Anhui. Just for this reason, the pavilion is exotically quaint. It truly is a serene corner with much shade. The pavilion name is Huang Jun’s running-regular script.
