Love the dull gold shimmer
The top part is (supposedly) pure gold with a 75-caret diamond studded at the very top. There is a telescope around there for people to look at the gems that are hanging at the top.
My God. Must be something! Post a pic of this if you can:)
See this for a close-up picture of the diamond:

This is a beautiful picture...I recently read a book where I got to know quite a bit about this Pagoda :)
