Would you work in this board room? Are those thin things holding it up wires or rods? Even if it was hollow, it would still be heavy. I don't trust either one. (This company has it's own quarry, too.) Also note the 2 guys sitting at the end of the table, trying to get out of the way.

Meilang Twin Pagodas 美郎双塔

The twin pagodas were built in the early Yuan Dynasty, dating back over 800 years. Known as the "Sisters Pagodas" for a local story of a villager building them to honor his two daughters—one who married, one who became a Buddhist nun.

The pagodas are beautifully carved, decorated with Buddha, lotus petal, elephant, lion, unicorn, tiger, unicorn, horse and auspicious patterns. They are both around 13 metres tall. They are amongst the best preserved Yuan Dynasty towers in Hainan island and protected at the state level.
