Thean Hou Buddhist Temple

Thean Hou Buddhist Temple

This is the largest Buddhist temple in the city and is near the Mid-Valley shopping centre. It was opened in 1987 at a cost of RM7 million. Its a wonderful place to visit, and if you go in the morning, you will often see a number of wedding registrations.

My wife and I were registered there, and so was my sister-in-law. For us it is a very special place, and we enjoy visiting.

One word of warning, this temple becomes a real sun trap, so if you can, visit as early as possible. Opening hours are from 9am to 9pm.

Getting There:There are many tours to the temple, but the temple itself is free. (They'd like donations, of course.) The quickest way is to take a taxi from the KL city centre, or you can go to Mid-Valley and take a taxi from there.

The website can be found here: http://www.hainannet.com/english_site/eng_index.htm.

A note for Muslim visitors: The food served in the temple is Non-hallah.
