Inside the statue there are four levels and an elevator that takes you up through the levels to an observation floor that is 85m of the ground. The observation floor is located at the chest level, if you look closely at the pictures you can see the three slit like windows. Each level serves as a kind of museum. Below is a quick description of each level.

Level 1, Infinite Light and Infinite Life

The first floor lobby is dark, and as you enter new age music floats toward you from the darkness. In the center of the room a single shaft of light shines from above onto a cauldron of smoking incense. If you walk past that you’ll find the elevator to the other floors.

Mostly dedicated to scribe studies
