What's the difference between pavilions and pavilions in ancient buildings?

Xuan: Similar to a pavilion, it is a place for tourists to rest, enjoy the cool, shelter from the rain and enjoy the beautiful scenery around them. It is also a building starting from small buildings in classical gardens. The difference between a porch and a gazebo is that there are simple tables and chairs in the porch for tourists to rest. Generally speaking, the porch in the garden is mostly a place where poets recite poems and paint, which requires a quiet environment, simple shape, and more traditional calligraphy and painting, plaques and couplets, which can give people a subtle and elegant taste. The porch is also used to enjoy the scenery.

Pavilion: A house open by the water is called a waterside pavilion. It is characterized in that one platform is built at the water's edge, half of which extends into the water, and the other half is built on the shore. Pavilion-shaped buildings are built on it, and railings or beauty rests are set between the surrounding columns. The water side is particularly open, which is a good place for people to rest and watch the scenery by the water. The main function of the waterside pavilion is to decorate the waterscape for tourists to enjoy.
