Thean Hou Temple, Bukit Bintang, Suria KLCC


It’s my third times visit Kuala Lumpur. This time I visit one famous temple at Kuala Lumpur – Thean Hou Temple.

From LCCT, I bought Aerobus ticket (round way) RM 14, it’s cheaper rather than buy one way (RM 8) to KL Sentral.
Takes 1 hours to reach KL Sentral from LCCT.

Arrived at KL Sentral, we take elevator to go upstairs. And since we (I visit Kuala Lumpur with my friends) brings luggage, so we need to storage it first.
At KL Sentral there were storage luggage locker, medium size RM 15 (per days), large size RM 20 (per days). We lean large size, it‘s fit with 4 luggage (all medium size). It’s cheaper then storage luggage at LCCT – RM 18 per luggage.

The locker located below the stairs. From elevator just walk straight to the exit.

Food at KL Sentral is pricy, there were western food, and asian food.
Also there were some stall sold merchandise (I didn’t know the price since we not interest with it).

Then we take cabs, not buy ticket (take taxi from KL Sentral needs to buy ticket), we ride taxi which drop passanger to KL Sentral.
The driver ask RM 15, but as I know it’s only RM 10, and the deal is RM 12.

The driver is Malay (it my first time take taxi with Malay driver). I prefer Chinese driver, I avoid India Driver (they always ask higher price). And now I also had one new experience, avoid Malay driver (he talk too much and soo mumble, also not informatif).

It’s only 10 minutes to Thean Hou temple from KL Sentral by taxi, if walk maybe it takes half hours.

Thean Hou Temple in Chinese alphabet suppose to read Tian Hou Gong天后.
: Tian = sky
: Hou = queen,
: Gong = Temple
Address : 65 Persiaran Endah, off Jalan Syed Putra, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

It’s feel like in China, the building was nice. And the atmosphere was quite, calm and shady.
The temple was huge but, only had one 1 main building.
At the park there were 12 Chinese zodiac statues. At the other side there was small gazebo with mini waterfall.

Not like other temple I ever visit. This temple only had 3 statues inside the building.

In front of the main building, there was small Milefo Statue (Smiling Buddha), inside the building there were 3 giant statues. At centre is Queen Sky statue, at the right is Avalolokitesvara (or Kwan Im) statue, at the left (I didn’t know).

Outside the main building hang many lantern. And the roofs ornament also the giant pilar and the wall all beautiful.

Beside the building there stairs to go upstairs, just follow the arrow.
At the upstairs there were nothing, only Gazebo, but can see Kuala Lumpur city from here. It’s very nice to visit here at 6pm. Maybe it’s beautiful at sunset or sunrise.

We go down from different stairs to the back, turtle pounds.
There were many turtle here, with different kind of turtle.
I personally recommended this place to visit. It’s worth to visit.

After finished surround the temple, we went down to merchandise store. We bought ice cream RM 1,5. The weather was extremely hot.
Down here like mini Chinatown, all stuff sold here similar with Chinatown at Singapore.

Then we continue to our next destination. Suria KLCC, to Petronas Tower, since 2 of my friends had visited it yet.
Take taxi from Thean Hou Temple to Pavillion RM 17. Why Pavilion, not directly to Suria KLCC. Because I wanna try vegetarian food at Republic Food Court. And It’s delicious, every food was tasty and not too expensive.

After finished our meals and take photograph during our walk at Bukit Bintang, we continue to Suria KLCC by LRT.

Arrived at here we took elevator to G Floor, then go to the park.
Unfortunately the fountain was under reconstruction so we can’t see the fountain. We just walk spending time there. It’s nice walking at afternoon at the park, many people jogging, doing yoga here.
The view, the park all was good – Recommend place to visit.

At 7pm we went to Signatures Food court - Suria KLCC (1st floor) for dinner.
Finished our dine we take LRT to KL Sentral, take our luggage, then ccontinue ride Aerobus to LCCT.
