Probably the prettiest Chinese temple in KL Really glad to make a stop here to visit the temple. The side of the temple is actually a marriage registration office and on our visit there, there were actual couples getting married and it was a really unique sight to behold. The temple is kept pristine clean and commands a handsome view of the kl skyline.

We decided to visit this place during our visit to Kuala Lumpur, and it didn't disappoint us at all. It is a beautifully built temple 🛕 that is being maintained efficiently by them. This temple was built in 1989, and it probably is one of the largest Buddhist temple. The temple is on a hill, so it provides a good view of Kuala Lumpur skyline. It is definitely worth a visit if you are in KL.
