Kuala Lumpur is one of my favorite cities in the world, together with Seoul<\/strong><\/a> and Hong Kong<\/a><\/strong>. I love its diversity and contrasts. The tall skyscrapers live in harmony with historical buildings, mosques, and temples. Truly a unique sight!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After visiting Kuala Lumpur three times, I finally got the chance to explore the incredible Thean Hou Temple. After seeing many photos with this temple on Instagram, I’ve decided to visit it without having high expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve seen my fair share of temples while traveling full time for one year and a half in Asia<\/strong><\/a> and I honestly thought that nothing can surprise me anymore. I was SO wrong! Let me tell you more about it in the sections below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. The history of the temple<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The temple was completed in 1987 and was built by the Hainanese people living in Malaysia. The temple is dedicated to Tian Hou, the goddess who protects the fishermen. A statue of the goddess is present in the prayer hall, situated between the Goddess of the Waterfront and the Goddess of Mercy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apart from its main hall and prayer hall, Thean Hou Temple also features a beautiful garden, a Chinese chessboard, and a Chinese herb garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interesting fact:<\/strong> the temple also offers fortune-telling and marriage registration services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
