What travelers say:
Malaysia 🇲🇾 Kuala Lumpur Tianhou Palace has not been seriously walking in KL for a long time. This time I decided to go to KL's very famous Tianhou Palace to come to half day trip. In addition to punching in, you can also sincerely ask for a good sign and look at the beautiful scenery around. (Really wonderful). This time I asked Bodhisattva for a sign to point out the future. Fortunately, I asked for a sign on the sign (for reference, cut superstition). Friends who want to ask for a marriage sign can also worship the old moon and ask for a marriage. ❤️ Remind everyone: If you want to take pictures of beautiful scenery, In the evening, when the sun is going down, the scenery at the Tianhou Palace is very good. #local tour #kuala Lumpur tour #tianhou Palace #malaysia attractions

Thean Hou Temple.Thean Hou Temple is an ornate Chinese temple dedicated to the Queen of Heaven. Thean Houis a popular landmark which you should visit if you are in Kuala Lumpur. Getting there is pretty easy as it is located not far from downtown. The recommended sightseeing time is between one to two hours. It is a big place, colourful and with a beautiful architecture. It's not crowded at all compared with other landmarks. Very worth visiting and and there is no entrance fee. The location of this place is privileged. It is uphill so you will get a good view of the city. One advantage is that this place closest very late.

beautiful chinese temple near KLContrary to first appearances, Thean Hou Temple is not old, having been built between 1981 and 1987. Up close, you can tell that underneath the traditional ornate decorative facade it is a modern structure. The temple is certainly large, spreading over six tiers. It is managed by Malaysia's Hainanese community who descended from sea-faring fisherfolk from the island of Hainan, China. Although most Hainanese in Malaysia are no longer involved in fishing they will still flock to this temple, together with other local Chinese and foreign visitors to pray for good fortune and blessings in other aspects of their lives.Jimmysandwiches36

Thean Hou TempleWhen I planned my trip to Kuala Lumpur, I knew I wanted to visit Thean Hou. From KLCC, I used Grab to take a car across to the temple area, I actually left at around 9am to miss the crowds. This was really helpful for getting good photos before the crowds. Thean Hou is not far to travel too, it was pretty cheap in the Grab car. Entry is free so you can explore for as long as you wish while paying nothing. After walking around the temple, you should make sure you check out the small shop beneath the temple. It’s filled with Malaysian gifts and obscure souvenirs. I bought some of my unique gifts in this shop, I saw them no where else. A few hours here is a decent amount of time, I left around 11:30 and it had started to fill up more around the main areas. #urbanexplorer #malaysia #tripblazers #travel #photography #temple #asiatravelAmy.in.asia40

Thean Hou TempleIf red is your favourite colour then you need to visit this place! Thean Hou Temple is one of the oldest Chinese temple in Southeast Asia. When we first arrived I didn’t know what to expect. We went there before lunch time and we thought that it would be crowded but not at all! It was really empty and we were the only tourist there. I was thinking this place would be crowded because it is so beautiful and photogenic but for whatever reason it was so quiet there. A lot of people go here to pray so you need to be respectful and don’t disturb them. Always follow the rules when visiting temples and dress appropriately, a lot of this places have some signs telling what to wear and what you shouldn’t do but some of them don’t. Do your own research before visiting a temple and try to appreciate as much as you can 💓 #kualalumpur #malaysia #malaysiatravel #unforgettableexperiences #unforgettableexperiences#awesomepic#historicculture#maydaytrip#urbanexplorercyncynti208

Thean Hou Temple 🇲🇾#kualalumpurtrip A beautiful temple And very colorful too. On top of a small hill And you have to climb a little to reach the front of the temple. Good and quiet atmosphere You can also get a beautiful view of the city from the highlands. It was never in my plans, but I’ve been to it since I had some free time. And I wasn’t disappointed A beautiful temple with many shots worthy IG. As on a hill, it overlooks a stunning skyline from Kuala Lumpur. Shops with souvenirs and stalls with vegetarian food make up LG’s level. The right courtyard and temple are located on the second floor. The temple’s interior is air-conditioned although its six doors are open at all times. A lot of couples took pictures here. Here is one of the most beautiful temples in Kuala Lumpur. This temple is located on a hill where you can enjoy the beautiful view of the city in silence. You can feel a lot of positive energy here. There are a number of restaurants at the bottom of the temple, but they are not good places. Water is better with you When you return, you have to use the taxi online because there is no taxi here and you have to walk a very long road to get to the main street for about forty-five minutes!!! One of the most beautiful temples I have visited in Malaysia, the colors are breathtaking and detailed. The pictures are amazing Devoe is worth a visitAyah Abdullah6
