The Three Pagodas are among the oldest standing structures in south-western China

The Three Pagodas are among the oldest standing structures in south-western China. Clear weather permitting, they look especially pretty when reflected in the nearby Erhai Lake. The tallest of the three, Qianxun Pagoda, has 16 tiers that reach a height of almost 70 meters. The first Pagoda was originally erected in the middle of the 9th century, about the same time as the  Large Goose Pagoda and Small Goose Pagoda in Xi'an. On either side, the original pagoda is accompanied by two smaller 10 tiered pagodas, each standing at 42 meters high. There is also a temple behind the pagodas, known as Chongsheng Temple, which is laid out in a traditional Yunnan style--three layers of buildings lined up with a sacred peak in the background.

Qianxun Pagoda is square with sixteen pent roofs above the huge first storey. The tubular interior is divided into sixteen storeys. The 59.6-metre-high pagoda is a typical multi-eave structure of the Tang Dynasty. The two-level pedestal supports a first storey with sides measuring 9.85 meters wide each. The method for piling up bricks for the sixteen-tier eaves was for the first layer to project from the wall. The second layer is in the shape of chevrons. The bricks then overlap one another, with each tier wider than the one below. Above the eaves are balconies. The eaves present smooth concave arcs, reflecting the style of Tang Dynasty pagodas. The contour of the whole pagoda is also in the shape of an elegant curve, with the top tapering off mildly, forming an excellent example of multi-eave pagodas in the Tang Dynasty. Sixteen-tier eaves are rarely seen in other pagodas.
The major pagoda, Qianxun Pagoda, was built in the period 824 to 839 in the Tang Dynasty. It is rectangular in shape; 69.13 meters high and divided into 16 tiers, while the two smaller ones, octagonal in shape have a height of 42.19 meters each and 10 tiers. In 1978 discovered during restoration efforts, are more than 600 cultural relics of the Tang and Song dynasties, including Buddhist scriptures, Buddhist statues, Buddhist musical instruments and copper mirrors. The renovation was completed in December 1980.

The Park's commitment to take full advantage of its unique collection of insects, fishes, birds and marine mammals for scientific research has also been given a boost. With the increasing success of the Park's breeding programmes, births of rare shark species, bottlenose dolphins, sea lions, sea horses, penguins, anacondas, red-handed tamarins, Pygmy marmosets and different species of sea jellies have been recorded. Endangered birds and butterflies are also being hatched and reared at Ocean Park.
Giant pandas
A pair of giant pandas, a male named An An (安安) and a female called Jia Jia (佳佳), were given to Ocean Park by China in 1999. The pair lived in the Hong Kong Jockey Club Giant Panda Habitat, which was refurbished as the Hong Kong Jockey Club Sichuan Treasures. In 2007, two more pandas were given to Hong Kong to mark the 10th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to Chinese sovereignty. The pair of two year-old pandas, a male called Le Le (樂樂) and a female named Ying Ying (盈盈), arrived at Ocean Park from the China Conservation and Research Centre in Wolong in Sichuan province. After quarantine, they made their first public appearance in Giant Panda Adventure on 1 July 2007. A new compound was prepared at the park to house them on their arrival.

Dolphins
Currently, the Park's Marine Mammal Breeding and Research Centre (MMBRC) houses a total of 9 Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins. Previously in July 2009, Domino and Domisa, two dolphins from Bayworld in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, arrived at Ocean Park. The dolphins, a father and daughter pair, were separated in order to ensure that they do not mate with each other. They will be introduced to other dolphins and form part of Ocean Park's breeding program.[12] In May 2001, two of Ocean Park's female dolphins, Ada and Gina delivered two healthy calves, a female and male respectively, the world's first two bottlenose dolphin calves as a result of artificial insemination. This marked an important stage in reproductive physiology and controlled breeding of marine mammals.

Chinese sturgeons
The Chinese sturgeon were introduced to the park in 2008, and as of 2013, Ocean Park houses 9 Chinese sturgeons, displayed in Chinese Sturgeon Aquarium – Yangtze Exploration. To mark China's hosting the Olympic Games, the Chinese Central Government made a gift of five rare Chinese sturgeons, symbolising the five Olympic rings, with Ocean Park as the recipient. Two were bred by the Yangtze River Fisheries Research Institute and three by the Beijing Aquarium. The fish made their debut on 20 June 2008.[13] However one of them died after a few days, apparently bitten by a barracuda. On 14 July 2008, it was announced that Hong Kong would receive another five sturgeons from the Chinese National Aquatic Wildlife Conservation Association in time for the 8 August opening ceremony, to complement the four fish already in situ. The park's management decided to evict its sharks from their aquarium in favour of the new arrivals.[14] On 12 December 2008, a second sturgeon died from an infection. A third one died from an injury and two nine year old sturgeon were declared ill on 2 January 2009. The two sick fish, measuring 2.3m and 1.5m, were returned to the Yangtze River Fisheries Research Institute for expert care.

Southern rockhopper penguins
This penguin can be found at the Polar Adventure in Ocean Park. Southern rockhopper penguins live and breed on rocky coasts, sometimes on cliff tops or in rock gullies. To reach their homes, these birds have developed the high agility needed to hop along steep slopes. Although they are less than 2 feet tall, they can jump up to 4 to 5 feet high. They have declined rapidly by an estimated 30% over the past 3 decades, and are listed as "Vulnerable" in the IUCN Red List.

Pha That Luang is symbolic of both Buddhism and sovereignty

By far the most important ancient building in Laos, Pha That Luang is symbolic of both Buddhism and sovereignty. Legends tell us that Indian missionaries built the huge gilded and domed temple to house a piece of Buddha’s breastbone. Welcome to China for Canton Fair 2014, HRC is pleased to take you to grab a genuine China Tour. Indochinatourguide.com is pleased to offer genuine Laos tour for you.

 
The main spire may look like a pyramid from a distance but is actually slightly curved.  It is 45 meters in height and is surrounded by 30 smaller stupas.
Pha That Luang is surrounded by a cloister roughly 85 meters long on each side and contains a large number of Lao and Khmer statues, including one of a meditating Jayavarman VII.  The area is also an art gallery, with fine displays of paintings by local artists.

Pha That Luang is a gold-covered large Buddhist stupa in the center of the capital of Laos, Vientiane. The building was designed in the third century, but the present form dates from 1930, as the stupa was repeatedly plundered and was to be her next renovation. It is currently viewed as one of the most important national symbol of Laos.
