Kek Lok Si, the largest buddhist temple in Southeast Asia began construction in 1890. Its 7-storey handcrafted "Pagoda of Ten Thousand Buddhas" was completed in 1930 followed by a 30.2 m bronze Kuan Yin statue in 2002.The temple lights up in remarkable fashion during Chinese New Year. Over and lanterns will illuminate Kek Lok si during this festive period.
Kek Lok si Temple at the night view.. Its feel like in Beijing,China.
If you come at this time, you will be rewarded with beautifully decorated bright colorful lanterns throughout the whole temple. And during those 2 weeks of the Chinese New Year the temple will be fully lighted up with decorations. It's almost like fairyland.
But if you come on the day light.. It's very hot temperature.
Morning Glory on the Blessing wall.
