The Inspiration comes from China – Lake Shanhu Pagodas
Lake Shanhu pagodas in Guilin at the Lijiang River Guangxi, China. These towers are quite the same. The tallest one (41 meters and nine floors) embodies the sun, the other (35 m and seven floors ) the Moon. Both are illuminated at night: in red such as gold for the first one and in blue as silver for the second.
