Qingwan Pavilion is located in the west bank of Xiangjiang River and Qingfeng Canyon in Yuelu Mountain, Changsha City, Hunan Province. According to "The Long Examination of Yuelu Academy", in the 57th year of Qing Qianlong (1792), Luo Dian, the head of Yuelu Academy, rebuilt the Love Evening Pavilion here.
However, this pavilion was originally called "Hongye Pavilion", also known as "Aifeng Pavilion". Later, Governor Bi Yuan of Huguang visited Qingfeng Gorge. Seeing this scene as poetic as Mutu's Walking the Mountain in the Tang Dynasty, he changed the Hongye Pavilion to Love Night Pavilion.
