Xa Loi Tower & Garden, Copyright © Cooltourismical.com

When you’ve already reached the first level of Marble Mountains, as you turn your eyes from the stunning panorama, you will find yourself standing in front of the beautiful Xa Loi Pagoda. A greyish tower, 28-meter high, surrounded by greenery and Buddha statues.

Its architecture embodies the core spiritual beliefs and values of Buddhism.

The structure, with seven floors covered in green tiles and guarded at the edges by small, white dragons, serves as an expression of basic human emotions, namely happiness, anger, love, resentment, greediness, hatred, and delusion. In addition, the six sides of the tower represent the five human senses of taste, smell, vision, hearing, touch, plus a sixth one, the intuition.
