This six-tiered temple, dedicated to Mazu (the Goddess of the Sea), sits proudly on a hill, offering stunning views of the city skyline. Built in 1987, it blends Chinese architecture with a touch of modern design, making it one of the most beautiful temples in Malaysia.
From the moment you step inside, the vibrant red lanterns, intricate dragon pillars, and peaceful garden vibes make you feel like you’ve entered another world. Whether you’re here to pray, take photos, or just soak in the calm, there’s something magical about this place. And hey, if you’re lucky, you might catch a traditional lion dance or festival celebration! Thean Hou Temple isn’t just a temple – it’s an experience that leaves you with a little more peace and a lot more photos
A huge round of applause goes to the Hainanese community for making this happen. The temple’s construction was partly funded by the community, with donors purchasing parts of the building like columns and beams!
The temple is dedicated to Mazu (Heavenly Mother), but there’s also a statue of Guan Yin, the beloved Goddess of Mercy. So, when you step into Thean Hou Temple, you’re not just visiting a place of worship – you’re entering a community’s dream that turned into one of KL’s most stunning landmarks!
