Typical gate- lots of ornate iron work
When they say that a lot of chinese porcelain is used ot decorate the temples- they really mean chinese porcelain-- look closely the rosette is made our of pieces of old chinese dishes- almost all of the decorations here are mosaics of chinese porcelain dishes- broken and sized for the occasion. The only specially case pieces are the lotus leaves - reddish chunk left below center.
