Scenes from the Temple

I am not sure what is the reason but where ever there was a path or an area with stones they would make little mountains as seen in the 2 images. I am certain this is symbolic, but of what? We should have utilized the free English guide we were offered haha.
Look at the horizontal tree.

    which temple is this saif? if by any chance it was a stone pagoda it could mean this
    "The three-story, 27-foot-high Seokgatap (Sakyamuni Pagoda) is a traditional Korean-style stone pagoda with simple lines and minimal decoration. It is superior in quality but similar in style to most other pagodas in the Gyeongju area. It is ringed by eight lotus-shaped stones, perhaps symbolizing the eight lotus flowers that fell from heaven as prophesied in the Lotus Sutra. During reconstruction work treasures were discovered inside: a sutra, a sari box, silver sutra plates, and a woodblock copy of the Dharani sutra printed sometime after 704 AD"

    Theyre all mainly relics of buddha
