LWIN LEE | CHIN SWEE CAVES TEMPLE @ GENTING HIGHLANDS, PAHANG, MALAYSIA

Located 4,600 feet above sea level and at the most scenic site of Genting Highands, the Chin Swee  Temple is the perfect getaway for those who would like to escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. A Taoist temple, the Chin Swee Caves Temple is situated on a 28-acre plot of rocky forested land donated by Genting Group founder, the late Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Lim Goh Tong. The  Chin Swee Temple was officially opened in 1994 after 20 years of continuous development by the then Minister of Transport, Tun Dr. Ling Liong Sik.

Overlooking the lush green slopes of virgin forests, the Chin Swee Caves Temple takes full advantage of a picturesque setting on the hills by giving its guests a guaranteed sense of serenity during their visit.

  

SCENIC ATTRACTIONS

Among some of the attractions one can find at the Chin Swee Caves Temple includes the newly-built observation square called the Sky Terrace. Spanning across 35,000 square feet, the Sky Terrace was built for guests to take leisure walk among the ‘clouds in heaven’. A large statue of the late Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Lim Goh Tong, erected in honour of his dedication to the Chin Swee Temple, stands tall in the vicinity of the Sky Terrace.

Right at the entrance, the beautifully-carved Nine-Colour Dragon Wall of Luck greets visitors to Chin Swee Caves Temple. Each of the nine dragons has different shades of color and according to Chinese folklore; each color represents a special type of luck.

Within the vicinity, the large statues of Buddha and Guan Yin stand tall behind the five-story Temple. Besides praying to both Buddha and Guan  Yin, devotees can also pray to a black seated statue of Reverend Master Chin Swee, which is found inside the Temple.

   

Just a few feet from the entrance, one could not miss the iconic 9-storey Pagoda, which is decorated with hundreds of Buddha figurines. Inside the Pagoda, visitors can find 10,000 blessing lamps installed for devotees of the Temple to dedicate to those that they would like to be blessed by Buddha.

Perhaps the most popular tourist attraction at Chin Swee Caves Temple is the educational Journey to Enlightenment that depicts the Ten Chambers of Hell.


Oh yeah, they do have the Registration Office (=

According to Chinese belief, the soul of a dead person would be sent to the First Chamber of Hell and his past deeds would be screened by Chin-Kwong-Wang, the King of the First Chamber, who would decide whether or not and where he should receive punishment. A good soul would be sent for rebirth in the Heavenly Realm and an evil soul would be sent to one of the remaining nine chambers of Hell, each empowered to impose various degrees of punishment.

Further up walking would have you seen the famously told Monkey King, that is made well known via the movie- "Journey to The West"
