Some Photos of the Chinese Temple We Visited in Kuala Lumpur


We arrived after visiting the National Mosque to this Chinese Temple overlooking Kuala Lumpur

Our driver, Robert, jokingly told me this was his grandfather

Little buddhas. I think you could give a donation to have one of them watch over you.
