Granite staircases at a Buddhist temple feature stone railings adorned with carved guardian lion figures, known as "shishi" or "foo dogs" in Chinese culture. The steps are well-worn and orderly, suggesting frequent use. The area in front of the stairs shows a pattern of black circular designs on a lighter stone surface, which contrasts with the plain steps. These design elements reflect the architectural and artistic styles typically found in traditional Buddhist temple settings throughout East Asia. |
