Tianyi Pavilion is located at No. 10 Tianyi Street, Haishu District, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province. It was built in the 40th to 45th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1561-1566). It covers an area of 26,000 square meters. It was originally the library of Fan Qin, the right minister of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty.
