A sprawling architectural complex with red walls, dark roofs, mountains, trees, and water
Detailed Description
A vast architectural complex with multiple buildings and courtyards is set within a natural landscape. In the background, several layers of misty, grey-blue mountains rise, with a body of water and smaller structures visible at their base on the left. The sky above is a pale, light grey, blending into the distant mountains. The central and foreground areas are dominated by the complex, which features numerous buildings with dark grey, almost black, tiled roofs and prominent red walls and pillars. Many structures are connected by long, open-sided corridors, also with red pillars and dark roofs, forming large courtyards. The main building in the upper right-center is the largest, with a wide, dark roof and a large open courtyard in front of it. Smaller, multi-tiered pagoda-like structures are also visible within the complex. Throughout the complex, small, indistinct figures in light-colored clothing are scattered, walking along pathways and within courtyards. Lush green trees with dark foliage are interspersed among the buildings, along with several trees featuring white blossoms. Pine-like trees with dark green needles are visible in the lower foreground. The ground throughout the complex is a light, sandy beige color.
