The Sun and Moon Pagodas in Guilin, China (photo by Nathan Ackley)

Sun & Moon Twin Pagodas are one of the greatest attractions in Guilin, situated in Shanhu (Shan Lake).

The word sun and moon in Chinese character written together meant brightness. They are also known as Gold and Silver Pagodas because of their colors at night. They stand next to each other reflecting the beauty of each other.

Originally built in Guilin's moat during the Tang dynasty, these tiered towers were reconstructed in 2001 and now they are a tourist site combining culture, art, religion, and architecture, technology, and natural landscape.

The "Sun" Pagoda is constructed with copper; it has 9 floors and reaches a height of 41 metres. The "Moon" Pagoda's construction is made of marble; it has 7 floors and measuring 35 meters high. The two pagodas are connected via a tunnel at the bottom of the lake.

From the Moon Pagoda to the Sun Pagoda, there is a 10-meter glass tunnel that links the two under water. When walking through the tunnel, one can see the fish above the head and on both sides.

National Park Seminary, Japanese Pagoda, Silver Spring, Maryland

The house was designed by Emily Elizabeth Holman as the Chi Psi Epsilon sorority house in 1907 on the campus of a finishing school for young women. Holman designed many of the building and houses on the school campus. The building on the right was a Swiss chalet inspired sorority house. The US Army took over the school in 1942 and used it as a rehabilitation center for wounded soldiers until the 1960s. After years of neglect and vandalism the buildings fell into decay. The seminary property was declared a National Historical District in 1972. In the past twenty years the houses have been restored and are now private homes. The larger school buildings have been converted into apartments and condominiums while retaining as much of the exterior design as possible.
