Meanwhile royalty and the nobility built Chinese style pavilions and buildings at enormous expense to display Chinese furniture and show off their cosmopolitan flair. Nevertheless, due to the influence of the Baroque and Rococo art popular in Europe, these examples of architectural "chinoiserie" ended up bearing very little resemblance to traditional Chinese architecture.
但由於受到當時在歐洲盛行的巴洛克和洛可可藝術所影響，這些「中國風」建築實在有點離譜，完全不像中國的傳統建築。
