Thean Hou Temple

So beautiful temple! We came in the morning to see less people and have possibility to enjoy the atmosphere but still saw a lot of people. We were lucky to see many weddings! So many beautiful couples came there to be married and take beautiful pictures and videos with pro photographers. There is small pond near the entrance with rich fishes (people leave coins there) and figures of Chinese horoscope. To visit the temple you need to go upstairs. Inside your should leave your shoes near the entrance. I really like this place even as a traveller, beautifully decorated, with many details, don’t miss opportunity to walk inside and outside. There are many amazing zones for photographs Inside you can get an answer on your questions using special number boards. Check the video to see see what you should do :) There is a dress code inside (check one of the pictures)

I had a wonderful experience at this temple during my layover. It is well-designed and well-maintained, creating a peaceful atmosphere as I walked around. I saw statues of three goddesses: Thean Hou, known as the Heavenly Mother; Guan Yin, referred to as the Goddess of Mercy; and Shui Wei Sheng Niang, also called the Goddess of Waterfront. This temple is a great place to experience the local culture, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting this temple

Visiting this temple on my birthday was truly a divine experience. The atmosphere was so calm and peaceful and it brought a deep sense of happiness just being there. Everything was well organized and systematic, which made the visit even more pleasant. I felt blessed to spend part of my special day in such a serene and spiritual place.

Beautiful temple ! You can see some people getting married. See also a traditional ceremony with priest who are singing. Very impressive. Take a grab to go. Don’t forget to cover yourself if you are a woman it’s better.

the Buddha statues left a strong impression on me– it's amazing how their presence can evoke such a sense of peace and serenity. And those lanterns! They created a truly magical atmosphere, especially hanging from the traditional Chinese roofs. It's definitely worth a visit

It may be one of the most beautiful and colorful Buddhist temples I have ever seen. Although it is a 44-year-old structure, it gives the impression of being a historical place, where fishermen make offerings and pray to Buddhist gods before setting off on a voyage, and you can learn many things about Buddhism in this temple. It creates a magnificent view, especially after dark. You can visit for free.

Nice temple to visit. Mandatory if you are from the same religion. The temple was nicely decorated. We even saw a few weddings on the day. Great architecture , ample parking space make it a must visit .

One of the most important and beautiful temples in kl not to be missed. Well maintained with lots of beautiful sculptures and decorations around. Try visiting before 8pm to witness the beautiful temple with lights. Min 1+ hrs required to completely cover the temple. The temple is uphill so plan accordingly .

Great temple to visit in Kuala Lumpur. It is listed a most visited temple in KL. This six tier temple build not long ago in late 19 century. It is not great for handicap. I like the structure architectural look. This is very modern temple. The layer of the temple makes it sophisticated. The entrance has a statue of the Quan Yin. The pillar has a lot of Chinese poem. Beautiful meaning. The roof was will make as to mimic the old style architecture. The garden includes statues of twelve zodiac, love god, rainbow stair and more. This includes the pond on the side. Parking can be park nearby or paid parking.

Location. Location and Location about this temple. I am not a big fan of temple, but local tourist guide recommend to check it out. There are some history and culture behind the temple. I cannot say this is a must visit temple unless you are into the religion. There are many tourist during day time and recommend go there at the evening. It is definitely a tourist attraction spot. You will have to take the stair to go up few level, but nothing too crazy.

Three story awe-striking Buddhist temple. Very intricate colorful and elaborate decorations on the facade. Unobstructed view of the city and famous landmarks. Basement level is a mini hawker center with souvenir stalls with the smells of candied chesnuts wafting throughout. Clean bathroom stalls are private and they stock toilet paper (a luxury in some tourist sites in Malaysia).

I've seen many temples around South East Asia, but I have to say - Tehean Hou Temple is definitely one of the most impressive. Even if you have visited more than 20, still take time to visit this one! I might be biased, because I went there during Chinese New Years where the temple was beautifully decorated and quite crowded. Me and my friends even got a chance to see a special 1h show for free ! One thing to bare in mind is that during CNY cabs won't be able to take you the whole way up the hill, so just jump out in the middle and walk, it's really not far. :)

Being a buddhist malaysian, I really take pride in my ethnicity and religion. To all the Hainanese Malaysian's, this temple is regarded as the pride of their community. This temple is strategically located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, it is also one of the main tourist attractions that KL has to offer. It is a place of worship among the buddhist community and a popular venue for chinese couples to register for marriages(It is also an official venue approved by JPN). I know for a fact that I performed my "RoM" at this holy venue almost 2 years back, and it was truly an amazing experience. I highly recommend this place for those "soon-to-get-married" couples as it is one of the more presentable venues as compared to those "dull" venues like the usual JPN offices. Other than that, if you are currently feeling abit "lost" or "confuse" in life, you actually visit this temple and seek divine intervention(Lol! I sounded very superstitious) as with any normal buddhist temple which offers fortune telling services as well. Lastly, this is also a good place to relax from the hustle and bustle from the hectic city life, as it is located on top of a hill. So do drop by if you are near by.

If you like to experience a little from the Chinese culture, this is one of the temples where you have to visit. The temple is near Bangsar area and you don't have to pay the entrance to go inside. The temple is amazing, it's quite big and very quite. If you want to meditate and enjoy some quality time with yourself you can go here. The place is full with peace and you will see many Chinese people praying and meditating. I loved the place because of the ambience and the atmosphere and I will definitely visit the temple again.

One of the greatest sites to see! Great views, no dress code (unlike the suppressive mosques) great staff, nice grounds and food wasn't pricy at all!

I have only been to the Temple once and that was during Chinese New Year. It was one of the most beautiful evenings I ever had. The chance to see an actual celebration made me feel lucky to be there. They had actually this beautiful stage where there were different artists just going up whether to sing to dance, or perform some magic card tricks. I really like that I stayed there for a couple of hours, took some beautiful pictures with that beautiful red colour of the light bulbs that was laid out across the temple. I just loved it and thought it was remarkable just outrageously beautiful. Definitely recommend it to anyone to go there whether during New Year or beside Chinese New Year it's definitely worth the hassle to go there :D

Thean Ho temple is one of the most beautiful temple in Klang valley. It is strategically situated on top of the hill which makes it even more outstanding. This temple is always full of visitors and tourist because it it just plain beautiful. Aside from prayers and sightseeing, Thean Ho temple is one of the most well known place for Registration of Marriage (RoM) among Buddhist. I am one of the people who had my RoM done here. I choose to have my RoM in Thean Ho temple even though there is another place in Klang that are also famous for RoM among Klangians and extremely near my house. The reason being I want my marriage to be bless by the god and goddess in the temple and like any other girl, I want my RoM photos to be taken in a beautiful place. The decorations and scenery in Thean Ho temple is so much nicer as compared to the place in Klang. I was lucky that my RoM was done nearing Chinese New Year (CNY), where the temple which is already beautiful looks even better with those CNY decorations. Thean Ho temple is so famous for their RoM that they are almost always fully booked. So if you're interested to have your RoM here, be sure to set the date and book with them earlier as they have limited booking each day. For those who like visiting temple or sightseeing, Thean Ho temple is a place you wouldn't want to miss.

My magical day begins here at this temple that starts a different journey of my life. I was here for the registering of marriage and to be honest, I sometimes doubt is this necessary? For a staunch Buddhist, getting hitched in a holy place represents a good beginning. The registering counter doesn't offer a one-stop solution (where it used to be providing all the forms etc.). If you are thinking to have your registering done here, be prepared with your forms, go to Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara (JPN) for your forms, filled that up, get it stamped before bringing all the necessary documents to the department of marriage in Thean Hou Temple. They require a long list of documents, birth certs and ICs - so check this out with them before going there. The office opens from 9am to 5pm daily and be mindful that you will be charged a fee to conduct your registration here. (Weekdays RM80 and weekends RM100).
