Nearby was the little water stream flowing down.

In a short walk, I reached the first gate to the temple.

This is the building that has the largest Buddha, and there are people gathered here to pray.

The left side of the temple.  I walked to the end of this side but the buildings were closed for visitors.

The buildings on this side are not for tourists.  So half of the buildings in the temples are not accessible.

Walked back to the main yard
