It has been a pretty busy weeks...
One of my aunt from 'far away land' drop by for a visit
last few week. So, we bring her for a sight seeing
around the neighborhood we live.
I bring the camera along, so you can join us for a short tour too!
The first place we bought her to is a Chinese Temple.
It's not very grand but I love the architectural details all over the building.
The entrance
The 'Silence warning sign'
Into the temple
These wall are fill with 3D marble craving
Each panel tell a story...
I love this one!
Dragon pillar
Table
A big panel of marble craving beside a water fountain
Dragon on roof
Inside the temple
This temple look even marvelous during at night,
I'll share that later.
Always remember
Even if happiness forgets you a little bit,
never completely forget about it. ~Jacques Prévert

ReplyDeleteMarvelous photos! I love all the carvings. And since I collect small Fo dog statues, of course those temple dog pictures are my favorites! I have them all over my house. I'm never sure if I should call them Foo, Fo or Fu. But I love them! (What are they called in Malaysia?)
ReplyDelete@Michelle L.Well, if you meant the 4 legs animal with a dragon head - that's a "Fu Qi Ling" a combination of a lion body and dragon head - it believe to be able to bring good luck and fortune to family and business.
