Thean Hou Temple in Kuala Lumpur

3:27 PM

This modern six-tiered Buddhist temple dedicated to Thean Hou or the Heavenly Queen is also known as the Temple of the Goddess of Heaven.

Multi arched gateway

The temple has intricate embellishments, ornate carvings, and a spectacular roof. It has elements of 3 religions: Buddhism, Confucianism, & Taoism.

Dragon-inspired columns and pagoda rooftops

The temple was decorated with plenty of lanterns as part of the Lunar Festival celebration.

Popular as a wedding venue, there were multiple couples getting married on the day we visited.

To reach the main temple, you’ll need to climb a couple of flight of stairs. There’s likely an elevator but didn’t see one on my visit.
