Re: [MC74 and Friends] Buidlings, monuments to be continued until this Friday, and theme for the week after

Hi Hai bà chu² Blog

Thuy' Hoà's post allowed me to hitch onto her 

late posting and send you my contribution on Buildings and monuments. 

I wanted something that stood apart. 

I found this monument in 2009 in Da Nang, this Pagoda statue is actually a building . 

You can see the 2 students walking at its base, for scale. You can see the door and the 

round windows openings higher on the back too. Inside is a large library on Dharma 

with thousands of volumes and a stairway going to the top.

Mr. Xe ôm driver told the story of this statue, it was built in 1972 by an ARVN lieutenant colonel of the công-binh, 

and now restored by the actual local Town mayorship. 

There was a Spirou and Fantasio episode where they went to China-Tibet and there was a huge empty Buddha statue acting as a prison there...

Thanks Thuy' Hoà  :)
