China Wenshu Monastery
The garden of Wenshu Monastery is a nice park open to the public with several typical chinese pagodas and water installations. This gate is one of them with an artifical waterfall on the rocks behind it.
The monastery is still in operation so there will also be services held regularly. So can see monks strolling around but also a lot of tourists.

Photography Tips
Try to be there in the morning, especially when you have a blue sky. Then you might be able to also get the sun reflection through the trees.
Have a look upwards at the buildings and enjoy the nicely crafted details of the pagodas.
Taking pictures from any of the Buddha statues is soemthing which may offend people and within some of the holy buildiings you are asked to not take pictures. I recommend to respect this.
