台州山寺

Layered forested ridges above a Taizhou valley town

Mossy stone steps climbing through the forest toward the mountain temple

Monks crossing the wooden corridor of the temple

Weathered stone carvings on the temple cliff

The multi-tiered pagoda rising over the forest

Moss-covered stone sculpture and a visitor at the temple

Golden luohan statues crowded in the dark hall

A smiling golden luohan among the crowd of statues

Rows of gilded luohan faces in low light

A seated golden luohan in quiet light

Luohan statue holding a small creature, detail

Profile of a golden luohan against the dark hall

A sculpted beast glowing red in the night hall

The grand waterfall pouring over the ochre cliff

A visitor standing beneath the waterfall

Stone figures standing in dark still water

White ducks wading through brown shallows

Ducks rippling a green pond

The valley and a distant pagoda under drifting clouds

Aerial view over the forested valley and its pagoda

The temple complex nested in forested mountains from above
