 A little context; The Daoist 'Precious Stone Temple' is on a great big rectangular rock that sticks out of the Yangtze. The pagoda which you see in the picture was built to make it easier to get up there - previous to its being built, you had to scramble up while hanging on to a chain nailed into the rock. Being a contrary soul, I climbed up that way anyway - but I have to say I wouldn't fancy trying to go down that route... |

 A better shot. |
 The frieze was on the wall of a courtyard inside the temple. |
