						The complex, 
						
						by some referred to as the Peace 
						
			      		
						
			      		Pagoda, has 
						a 39 meter high tower with 9 floors, i.e. an 
						odd number of stories, to correspond with the 
						
						yang 
						principle of the 
						
						yin-yang
						concept, i.e. the 
						bright aspect.  
						In addition, the tower is 
						said to symbolize the rise up to 
						the pinnacle of future fame. Adjacent to the tower is 
						the Inscription House, a square edifice with in at its 
						center a 3 meter tall marble tablet, said to weigh 3.07 
						tons. |
