The breathtaking Thean Hou temple in KL

Thean Hou Temple is one of the largest and oldest Buddhist temples in Southeast Asia.

Located near Jalan Klang Lama on the southwest side of Kuala Lumpur city, it is just a short drive from Bukit Bintang… Perched on a hill, it offers stunning panoramic views of the city.

When you enter the temple, you can find the statue of the deity Thean Hou between the Goddess of the Waterfront and the Goddess of Mercy.

Elements of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism are also added into the temple’s magnificent structure with statues of Wei Tuo and Guan Di (the God of War).

Thean Hou temple also conducts Chinese wedding ceremonies, fortune telling readings and martial arts classes such as tai-chi, wushu and Qigong.

I have visited Thean Hou a few times but am always just as fascinated with it as I was on my first visit there…

Address - 65, Persiaran Endah, Off Jalan Syed Putra, 50460 KL.
