The image is a black and white photograph of a set of stairs leading up to a traditional Chinese temple. The stairs are made of stone and have wooden railings on either side. The temple is located on a rocky cliff with a steep slope. The sky is visible in the background, and there are a few people walking up the stairs towards the temple. On the right side of the image, there are several lanterns hanging from the cliff. The image appears to be taken from a low angle, looking up at the temple from below.
