Highlights
- Chan See Shu Yuen Temple - Chan See Shu Yuen Temple is one of the largest and oldest surviving Buddhist temples in Malaysia. Located at the southern end of Jalan Petaling, it is characterized by a typical open courtyard and symmetrical pavilions, and decorated with colourful paintings, woodcarvings and ceramic fixtures. Built between 1897 and 1906, it is quite an elaborate temple: from outside you can see the intricately carved kwang-tung roof, gables and specially-crafted terracotta friezes with monumental Chinese history and mythological scenes. The interior of the main temple has pillars with scenes of gold-painted warriors battling lions, dragons and other mythical creatures.

Additional Information
The cultural tapestry of MALAYSIA is woven from the diverse traditions of its many people. Ancient indigenous tribes were the area’s first inhabitants, with Malays migrating from mainland Asia later on. Interactions with China and India through trade and immigration have significantly influenced Malaysian culture, as have Persian, Arabic, and British impacts. Presently, Malaysia’s multi-ethnic society contains a myriad of cultural identities, each retaining its distinctness amidst some intermingling.
