    Kek Lok Si Temple image
    Decided to make a trip over to see the statue, originally the statue were placed outdoor up high on the mountain after the years with the fundraiser donations from the people a pagoda structure were builded. My appreciation to all. One can now drive all the way up to the main sanctuary point with minimal parking fees of RM3 per vehicle, alternative you can drive half point and take the so call elevator up with a minimal fees of RM6 per person’s two way plus the minimal parking charges too. If one could remember the olden days with the extreme visitors by walking up where visitor could shop and dine along the way up well one could still be able to experience this. We decided to drive half way point as the weather were too hot to walk up and time taken is less in exploring the site that having said if you are in a hurry otherwise the walk is something to explore.

    Dharmikarama Burmese Temple image
    Less shining than the Thai version opposite it the Burmese Buddhist Temple grounds have many painted statues of gods and other mythical characters. Several ponds are full of big fish, introducing live turtles is prohibited, but somebody already did it. This building too is kept in pristine condition by constantly repainting the gilded ornaments. Entrance is free and begging is not encouraged by the temple. I bought a small massage device made from real horn from the man by the gate. See more..
