位於行館後方的涼亭建於日本時代，原本稱為納涼亭，也曾是日本皇族來此必遊的景點。在蔣中正總統居住期間稱為孝思亭，總統逝世後再以其學名「志清」改為「志清亭」。現存照片中可以看到，蔣總統常在亭中賞景靜坐，或與家人談笑用餐。
志清亭也曾是國際政要往來頻繁，與諸多國家事務決斷的現場。1971年臺灣退出聯合國之際，蔣總統就是在此接到消息。
民國60年10月26日，我們隨侍蔣公到大溪賓館，那一天，聯合國通過中共入會的消息，美國通知外交部急報，武官來向先生報告時，我當班，先生靜坐在亭子裡，武官向他報告說，中共正式加入聯合國，我們退出聯合國了。先生聽了，把鴨舌帽摘下來一甩，丟到地上，憤怒的眼淚不自主的流了出來！（應舜仁口述/蔣中正總統侍從人員訪問紀錄上冊）
The Pagoda, sitting behind Chiang’s residence, was built in the Japanese Colonial Era. It was previously known as Pagoda Naliang (“Enjoying the Cool”), and a must-see when the Japanese royalties visited. It was called Pagoda Xiaosi while Chiang resided here. Upon his passing, it was renamed “Pagoda Zhiqing,” after Chiang’s school name. Photographs from that period of time show the former president enjoying the view, meditating, or hanging out with his family over a meal in the Pagoda.
This was where many foreign dignitaries were received, and where key national matters were resolved. Chiang was notified of the news here in the Pagoda in 1971, when Taiwan backed out of the United Nations.
On October 26, 1971, we followed Chiang to the Daxi Residence. On that day, the United Nations welcomed People’s Republic of China into its fold. The United States notified the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in an urgent telegram. I was on duty when the military attachés hurried inside with that piece of telegram. Chiang was sitting quietly in the Pagoda as the attachés delivered the news, “the PRC is now a member of the UN, and we backed out as a result.”
Chiang removed his beret and flung it to the floor. His face streaked with angry tears. (Narrated by Ying Shun-ren/Volume I of the Interview with President Chiang Kai-shek’s Aides)
