The Hsi Lai Temple in La Habra Heights, California, is a traditional Chinese Buddhist mountain monastery. It sits on a hill overlooking the city, and is reached by a circular road which leads to two levels of parking. This is the view as you would walk down to level one. At level two, you can walk into the monastery's main entrance.

this is so funny Mary. When I saw this I knew exactly where this was taken on Hacienda Blvd. I lived 2 blocks from there and saw it being built. Nice capture #1607051Robert R. Goodman February 11, 2015
