After preparation, (and there were a lot, such as feeding baby, preparing her stuff, etc), we were ready to depart by around 2.30pm. CK's Mom provided me with a small little jacket for my lil' darling.
Arrived Genting at around 4pm, and it was just a nice time for exploring Chin Swee Temple. So strange, after several times to Genting previously, it never crossed our mind to even stop by this temple, until CK suggested it. And I am really happy with the suggestion, since the weather is cooling, the scenery is beautiful and we had the exercise we needed.
Chin Swee Temple was originally built by Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong (Msian prefer to call him as Uncle Lim) during his days of developing Genting Higland. He was unsure of the development plan, and during one of the most trying days, he camped on the site and dreamed of Chin Swee God, who told him to continue as the original plan, and encouraged him to keep on going, since success were waiting for him.
After the dream, Uncle Lim built this Chin Swee Temple dedicated for the God for the dream. Originally the temple was just a small temple, where everybody is able to offer their prayer. But nowadays, it has been expanded to a big portion of the highland.
Let's enjoy some of the pics below.
Laughing Buddha in the Receptionist area. Oh yes, they do provide accomodation at minimal donation for those who wish to have a peaceful and serene meditation. The accomodation is complete with Vegetarian dinner and breakfast.
I really like this picture, it's like the Buddha is sitting peacefully watching over the world.
This building seems to sprout out of thin air.
Buddha emerges from the trees.
Basically the temple was built without changing the originally shape of the terrain, hence trees remain as they were before the temple development. Nature friendly yeah!
