Next is a gatehouse
Which houses four gatekeepers like this one inside this gatehouse. The photo shows only one gatekeeper.
The temple is located on the hillside, so keep climbing.

At the front is this largest building where the most prominent Buhdda is located, but I forgot to peek into it.

The right side has a pagoda on a little hill.
A sitting Buddha on the upper left side. Not a lot of Buddhist decorations on the temple site.
Looking at the yard from the left side
The largest building. All the doors are closed, which must be why I did not peek inside to see the Buddha.
