Activity itinerary

Chan See Shu Yuen Temple
  • 20m
It is one of the oldest and largest Buddhist temples in Malaysia. It was built between 1897 and 1906. The different pavilions are symmetrically arranged and are decorated with brightly coloured paintings and wooden bas-reliefs. The roofs are covered with very elaborate ceramic tiles, wavy gables and friezes in ceramic green and blue, very beautifully carved, representing mythological scenes. The corners are decorated with beautiful blue ceramic vases. At the entrance are the guardians of the temple, a man and a woman. The temple was mainly built for an association of clans: the Chan, the Chen and the Tan. On the central altar are the statues of the three founders of the clans, and on both sides, pictures represent the deceased members of their families. Paintings depicting warriors fighting lions, dragons and mythical creatures frame the main altar.
Thean Hou Temple
  • 20m
Thean Hou Temple is not old, having been built between 1981 and 1987. Up close, you can tell that underneath the traditional ornate decorative facade it is a modern structure. The temple is certainly large, spreading over six tiers. It is managed by Malaysia's Hainanese community who descended from sea-faring fisher folk from the island of Hainan, China.
Sin Sze Si Ya Temple
  • 20m
This is the oldest Taoist temple in the city with a history dating back to 1864. The temple features an ornate interior and elaborate roof ridges. Sin Sze Si Ya Temple pays tribute to the deities of Sin Sze Ya and Si Sze Ya. Sin Sze Si Ya Temple occupies a rather unusual position and angle.
Jamek Mosque

Jamek Mosque, officially Sultan Abdul Samad Jamek Mosque, is one of the oldest mosques in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It is located at the confluence of the Klang and Gombak River and may be accessed via Jalan Tun Perak. The mosque was designed by Arthur Benison Hubback, and built in 1909. The mosque was built on the first Malay burial ground in the city. Before the national mosque, Masjid Negara, was opened in 1965, Masjid Jamek served as Kuala Lumpur's main mosque. The mosque has a Moorish architecture.
Sri Maha Mariamman Temple
  • 20m
This stunning Hindu temple is one of the oldest and magnificient 22-metre-high gate tower and portico are adorned with intricately carved images of Hindu deities. Located within are the deities of the Hindu goddess Maha Mariamman embellished with gold and precious stones. Take in the sights and sounds from peddlers selling strings of jasmine garlands to aromatic incense filling the air.
