THE Chinese Pavilion was officially opened at the Emu Valley Rhododendron Garden yesterday.

Designed and built to look exactly like a pavilion in a Chinese park, it even has genuine roof tiles sent from Taiwan.

Honorary curator Maurie Kupsch said he travelled to Japan and China to obtain a concept for the design.

The Jones Boys sang a bracket of four numbers for the audience.

Mr Kupsch also had the help of his son, who lives in Taiwan.

``He organised pictures of gazebos and pavilions so I could get an idea of what I could build,'' Mr Kupsch said.

``He talked to a tile maker who presented different sizes and organised the tiles to be shipped over.''
