Explore this grand religious site located on a sharp, rocky slope near the peak of Resorts World Genting. Remember to visit the iconic nine-storey pagoda lit by lamps, the Sky Terrace, and the 15-metre high statue of Buddha.
Besides worshipping the Reverend Chin Swee, devotees can also pray to Buddha and Kwan-yin, whose statues stand behind the five-storey temple. Visitors can also embark on a journey of cultural exploration, travelling from hell to heaven in the afterlife in accordance with ancient Chinese traditions and beliefs.
Just after the main entrance is the nine-storey pagoda, decorated with figurines of Buddha. Inside are 10,000 “blessing lamps”, installed for devotees to dedicate to those whom they would like to be blessed. Such is the popularity of these lamps that there are only about 2,000 left.
The temple also offers visitors a breathtaking view and is a good place to meditate and appreciate the wonders of nature.
The Chin Swee Caves Temple is strategically located and easily accessible either by the Awana SkyWay or by road.
For a convenient and pleasant trip up to the temple, park your car at the Awana SkyWay Car Park, where there are about 4,500 bays. From there, hop on to the Awana SkyWay gondola for a scenic ride to the temple.
Disembark at the Chin Swee station at no extra cost and take the escalators to the temple grounds.
Remember to keep your cable car ticket as you can use the same ticket to continue your journey either to the peak or to the Awana Station if you had stopped at the temple on your way down.
This was taken a few weeks ago at Genting! It's been years since I've gone up there.
