Unique items:
The travel hub goes to Arborstone and Lion's Arch Aerodrome - Gathering point for Raids.
The 2nd travel hub opens to locations all over the world with specific fishing areas in almost every map area.
Some zip lines to travel to preferred fishing locations.
A Jade Workbench to modify your Jade Bot.

Commentary:
As the most recently created Lounge, there are certain things you can expect. You would expect to see End of Dragons mechanics here and you do with the zip lines, Jade Workbench and the fishing holes.

This lounge also has none of the mistakes of the previous ones. It has a personality. It has some beautiful scenery. There is relaxing music. The arrival area is nicely designed with everything you desire in a lounge area. The travel portal allows you to go back to your previous map.

One can tell that the fishing is also well thought out. Within the game, one is encouraged to level up certain traits and either create or join a fishing party. Such parties improve the fishing ability for everyone in the party. As such, one should have an easier time catching all those varieties of fish - and with the plethora of fishing holes around this island, one can fish for hours if so desired.

There are two (2) fishing vendors in the pavilion - one at the main arrival site and another on the shoreline. This makes it easier to restock your bait when you run out.

Even more impressive is the fishing hub. The ability to travel to basically any map in the world is a nice selling point and can save multiple loading screens when going from place to place.

Final Score:
My final score for this travel lounge is “A-”.

At the time of this review, I have not done a “deep dive” into fishing at this pavilion. (OK - bad pun).

There is no day/night cycle at this location - being as the pavilion resides in the Mists. As a result, as of May 2022, it is currently impossible to gain any Ascended or Legendary types of fish.

It also would have been nice to choose any location from the main travel portal instead of the one by the shoreline only.
