This Cultural Haven Should Not Be Missed on Your Next Trip to Kuala Lumpur!

Thean Hou Temple, located in Kuala Lumpur, happens to be one of the largest and oldest Chinese temples in Southeast Asia.

Located on the Seputeh hill, this six-tiered temple provides a stunning panoramic view of Kuala Lumpur city from atop!

Its splendorous architecture not only attracts the tourists from around the world, but also the locals!

The courtyard of the temple, which is decorated with a plethora of red paper lanterns suspended all across the top, leads to the main prayer hall with hundreds of small idols, along with the three massive idols!

The main shrine of the temple is situated on the second floor, with great views overlooking the entire city!

We visited almost all the touristy and way more non-touristy places in KL, but this temple definitely left a mark on us. I don't usually visit the touristy places anew, unless they are as magnificent as this beautiful temple. So, if I ever visit KL again, I'm definitely going back to this temple! So, if you are ever in KL, make sure to squeeze this temple in your itinerary!

TIP-

Entry to the temple is absolutely free!

Since it is a temple, you are expected to take off your shoes before entering the main hall.

Try to reach around sunset to not only beat the scorching heat, but also to feast your eyes on the fabulous view of the entire city!

Last but not least, DRESS APPROPRIATELY by opting for a decent dress code!

Until Next Post

Happy Travels
