The Sun and Moon Pagodas, located in Guilin, China, are iconic twin pagodas situated in Shanhu Lake. These stunning structures are renowned for their unique design and captivating beauty, especially when illuminated at night. The Sun Pagoda, standing at approximately 41 meters tall, is a striking bronze tower, while the Moon Pagoda, slightly shorter at 35 meters, is built of glazed tile. Connected by an underwater tunnel, these pagodas symbolize the harmony of the yin and yang, with the Sun Pagoda representing the male, or yang, and the Moon Pagoda representing the female, or yin.
