The Kek Lok Si Temple is regarded as one of the most
beautiful places of worship in Malaysia. This famous
tourist attraction is also one of the finest Buddhist
temples in South East Asia whereby the Kek Lok Si
Temple stands majestically on a hill in Ayer Itam. Built in tiers, this
magnificent temple culminates with
the beautifully crafted 'Pagoda of Ten Thousand Buddhas' which combines Chinese, Thai and
Burmese architecture and craftsmanship. Taking more than 20 years to build,
the temple is set against beautiful scenic
surroundings with attractions such as a turtle
pond, beautiful sculptures, scenic gardens, shrines
and a magnificent statue of the Goddess of Mercy.
