The real panorama created when we visit this building are the three main domes flanked by two water domes on the right and left sides, the dome and the edges together form a cool mix between Middle Eastern and Asian architecture in the form of a rounded dome and a sharp tip. The combination of bright red and brick red applied to the dome makes the dome a calm and relaxing colour when viewed.
