Cloud-Climbing Pavilion, from Twelve Views of Tiger Hill, Suzhou
A tiered pavilion with layered eaves rises on a wooded hillside above clustered rooftops, with figures on its balcony. Pines lean over a riverbank where small boats are moored, drawn in fine ink lines with light wash.
Look closer: Tiny figures walk on the pavilion's upper balcony.
