New experience to visit Buddhist Temple. Had a good stop at this place. Many believers, firing saint (Perfume), worship and check your luck, fortune and future. Seems marriage time, we saw 3 couples of bride and groom celebrating in there with their families.

The best way to get to the temple was via taxi since it was still a little walk from the nearest metro station. This was a multi story temple with a large stage and gathering area on the ground floor. We walked up the stairs to see the temple itself and were greeted with a lantern covered courtyard plus initials views of KL. We just had to avoid the multiple groups of wedding couples and their photographers. Some even had assistants and multiple sets of clothes for their photo shoots. We removed our shoes before entering the temple itself but at least photos were allowed. Inside was ornately decorated and lined with lots of small Buddha statues. The most unique feature was the rotating pillars of lit buddhas that seemed to shimmer as they turned. If you have time then go to the back of the temple. There were statues about the 24 Chinese filials and some of the stories were unusual (I.e breast feeding the mother in law). Also check out the huge Chinese chessboard and pieces on the side of the hill. A nice grouping of rabbit statues for CNY as well as all the Chinese zodiacs were off to the side of the temple. Well worth the side trip to this temple.

The Thean Hou Temple is a modern Chinese temple. It's located on a hill, from where you have a good view of Kuala Lumpur. If you've been to China and visited temples there, you might find it too modern and simple. However, it's still interesting and worth a visit.

It's a traditional temple in Kuala Lumpur. You can take a Grab to the temple. The temple is not too small but it's really beautiful and colorful. You can take a lot of nice photo here. It is a place worth visiting when visiting Kuala Lumpur.

Beautiful picturesque temple. The Thean Hou Temple is a six-tiered temple of the Chinese sea goddess Mazu with Guan Yin Bodhisattva and Shui Wei Sheng Niang Goddess on each side. You can register for light offering that lasts for a year for good luck. Most convenient way to get to the temple is via taxi or grab.

My brother brought my friend and I to visit this amazing temple. It is very crowded during Chinese New Year the traffic was so congested and we have to turn around. It is a very divine and spiritual place to visit for me as a Chinese descent.

Very colourful temple dedicated to the Chinese sea goddess Mazu and located atop a hill allowing views over parts of KL. Although Chinese New Year celebrations were complete there was still much ornate decor and lanterns remaining, all adding to the beauty of the building and area. The building is a grand structure and, according to literature, blends elements of Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism. It is imposing and features large pillars, ornate carvings and paintwork and spectacularly ornate tiled roofs. Red is the dominant colour throughout and complimented by gold coloured embellishments. Plenty of steps to negotiate if aiming for the top tier, we made it, but a struggle on old legs. The gardens add to the amenity, containing many statues of animals, Wishing Well, Tortoise Pons, Chinese Herbal Garden and statures of figures. The one con experienced; dirty toilets.

Nice interesting stop on day out. Found the people here were friendly and happy to chat about what we were seeing here. Was nice to see quite a few Bride & Grooms coming to register for their weddings and having photos against the lovely views all the way to the city.

We visited Thean Hou temple whilst in Kuala Lumpur. We visited in the evening time, as we had been advised that this was the most scenic time to visit. The actual temple is really nice, peaceful and well-kept. For anyone reading this planning on visiting Kuala Lumpur, I would highly recommend this temple over any of the temples at Batu Caves, as it is far cleaner and better presented. The only reservation I have with this place is that the location is quite awkward to get to as the nearest LRT train station (Bangsar) is a good 10 minute walk away (if you're quick). This wouldn't normally be a massive issue, except the actual area that surrounds Thean Hou temple is very deprived and didn't feel 100% safe. If you too are looking to visit in the evening, I would recommend not leaving it too late to walk around this area, especially if you're not a local. Overall, it's a nice temple to visit but please bear in mind what I have said about its location.
