Chin Swee Temple

This time I share my trip to Genting.

From LCCT we took bus to KL Sentral (bus ticket one way RM 8).

There were 2 way to reach Genting (First World hotel) from Kuala Lumpur :

1. From KL Sentral

Ride Aerobus to Genting RM 8,5 (include cable car).

Bus stop at cable car station.

2. From Titiwangsa

Take LRT to Titwangsa station, then ride bus direct to First world hotel RM 6.

Actually we going to ride Aerobus, but the bus ticket already sold out. And we need to wait for 2 hours for the next bus, so we skip Aerobus, directly take LRT to Titiwangsa station.

Luckily we didn’t ride Aerobus, since it’s rainy. I can’t imagine ride cable car when rainy and the wind will blow too.

About 1 hour later, we arrived at First World Hotel.

Then we had breakfast. I ate sandwich. I’ve been here before (play outdoor and indoor), so I’m not explore First World. We just walk around, take picture.

At 2 pm, we went to Chin Swee Temple. In Chinese it supposed to write Qing Shui Temple.

清 : Qing = Clean

水 : Shui = water

庙 : miao= Temple

There were 2 easy way to go tp Chin Swee Temple:

1. By bus

From First world hotel, there were free shuttle bus every an hour to this temple. The bus is white color

Or take green bus to Highland hotel, then change to another bus to Chin Swee temple. The green bus frequency is more often than the white bus.

We wait for white bus to Chin Swee Temple. It’s rainy days, the rain fall and stop and fall again. Luckily when I arrived at Chin Swee Temple the rains already stop.

It’s only take 15 minutes from First world hotel.

First we had lunch here. The place was cozy and nice. Many lotus hang on the restaurant roof.

Menu was delicious – all vegan (no onion), a little bit pricy.

I order Soup rice with vegetable RM 9.

Finished our meal, we went upstairs to the temple.

First is Milefo statue, in front of this temple there was dragon statue at mini pound.

Then we continue walk to giant Sakyamuni statue. There were Journey of Enlightenment beside the statue.

I walk to the Journey of Enlightenment, while my friends wait at downstairs.

The journey was about 10 level of the hell. Narrated that after human dead, they will go to the registration office, and there were officer there, read all his/her crime.

The more heavy crime had been done, means higher level of hell to go. It’s means the heavier punishment had to do.

There were replicas in every level of the hell. Also write down there the crime and the punishment (in two versions, English and Chinese).

After the punishment done, they will queue to drink water (to forget all things had been done in the hell) then reincarnation again in the world.

There were giant Avalokitevara statue here.

Beside these statues there were Queen of Heaven ride cart pull by Phoenix bird.

Then I go down to the pagoda (I didn’t enter it). Many people pray inside. Since it’s rainy so there were many fogs, I can’t see the scenery clearly.

There were stairs to go up, the gate write Tian Tan (in Chinese) – Heaven gate.

Upstairs there were Rulaifo Temple and huge yard. 

At the Yard there was Lim Goh Tong statue (founder Chin Swee temple).

I walk back to the restaurant, shuttle bus stop at here.

Behind the restaurant the were many Chinese legend write down at the wall.

At 4pm the free shuttle bus came, we ride it (it was the last bus) back to the First World Hotel.

At 5.30 pm we ride Aerobus back to LCCT (book on line, since the ticket always sold out) RM 31,5 (expensive, but exclusive and direct to the airport). The journey took 3 hours to LCCT.

Arrived at LCCT already 8.30pm, we check in to fly back to our lovely country.
