Delapan pilar dekat Tugu Kujang, Bogor
Pilar-pilar bergaya Yunani ini tegak di dekat Tugu Kujang, landmark Kota Bogor. Jumlahnya sembilan pilar dan disebut Lawang Salapan atau Gerbang Sembilan. Di malam hari lampu warna warni berpijar di tiang-tiang itu yang membuatnya tampak cantik.
Di bagian atas pilar itu terdapat sederet kalimat yang berbunyi "Di Nu Kiwari Ngancik Nu Bihari Seja Ayeuna Sampeureun Jaga". Artinya:1
Kalimat tersebut diketahui merupakan sebuah semboyan Kota Bogor, yang memiliki makna "apa yang telah dinikmati oleh masa sekarang adalah hasil pekerjaan orang terdahulu dan apa yang diperbuat oleh orang di masa sekarang adalah warisan untuk masa depan".
