The former Water Painting Garden is in the process of reconstruction now. Yuxiang Nunnery and Shuiming Building in the west form complete architecture cluster of its own system. Outside the gate sat two stone lions squatting on the two sides and on the gate is a horizontal plaque of “Water Painting Garden”.

Shuiming Building was built by the nearly deserted earthen bowl washing pool of Warter Painting Garden by Wang Zhiyan, Salt Embassy of Anhui , in the year 23 of Qianlong Period of Tang Dynasty. Its name came from the poem line of “Moon appears on the top of mountain in the morning and there is still remnant of evening in Shuiming Building” by Dufu, a famous poet in Tang Dynasty. The admiration of Wang for Pijiang and Dong Xiaowan and the deep feelings about Water Painting Garden is contained in construction of this building.
