Sansia XI: Roof Decoration of Zushih Temple

The second floor of the temple allows us a closer look at the tiled-rooftop decoration.  They are made of ceramics.

These temples are amazing. I, too, noticed the carvings on these temples when I visited Taiwan last time. You have the camera and skill to capture them. I think they deserve a whole book devoted to them. I am partial to the lanterns - the light around it very soft, but clearly visible. Sis
