Gunung Kawi Temple 卡威山皇室石龕 : 深藏在浓密森林里的石龕 Hidden In The Midst Of Thick Jungle

深藏在浓密森林里的石龕

深藏在浓密森林里

卡威山的皇室石龕

像个深山里的隐士

是一个难能的奇观

石桥下那淙淙流水

穿梭在山石和林野

老树上长藤盘缠着

流下一丝丝的根须

寺庙虽不堂皇美丽

几经沧桑的古石砖

门与梁却金碧辉煌

木雕彩色美轮美奂

石壁上一个个洞窟

雕塑历尽风吹雨打

仰俯那细长的水池

流出清凉的山泉水

Hidden In The Midst Of Thick Jungle

Hidden in the lush green jungle

Gunung Kawi Temple 

looks like a sacred recluse 

sleeping in a deep serene valley

Under the brick curving bridge

water flows in between

the mountain rocks and wilderness

and old trees lined with entangled vines

The temple of old seasoned stones

has grandeur doors and beams 

with intricate traditional carvings

glittering in the darkness of the woods

Huge niches guarding the compound

with carved stones shrines and tombs

of long forgotten kings and consorts 

overlooking the holy water of the mountain top

Gunung Kawi Temple 卡威山皇室石龕

The long climb up the high valley made me breathless. But the scenery was breathtaking. The niches with stone carvings of shrines and tombs were a wander. Tucked in the wilderness of huge trees and thick vines, this place is a jewel to behold.

又陡又高的台阶让我几乎喘不过气来，幸亏一路风景明媚，凉爽宜人。这里的石窟雕塑的确是个奇观。隐藏在古树缠藤里，这真是一块罕见的宝地。
