It has been built at the lakeside of Togo Lake to show the friendship between Tottori Prefecture and Hebei Province of China. All of the work (designing, procuring materials, and processing) were carried out in China. The building was once temporally framed and knocked down before transporting to Japan, and then it was built again under the supervision of Chinese engineers.
