Best Wishes to the Organizers of

Precious gems and stones together

of the structures. Geometric shapes of
varying sizes including hexagons,
decagons, circles and squares were
adopted to create the framework of the
16 pavilions.

combined and installed in a variety of
ways to form larger structures,
