We came to visit on the weekend after the 15th of the Chinese New Year. We read that the temple would be lit up at night with beautiful light decorations, therefore we chose to visit in the evening.
When we arrived at around 6pm, the temple was still practically empty, as it had been raining since the afternoon. The sky was still drizzling when we arrived, but we soon didn't need our umbrella.
The temple was breathtakingly magnificent, both in size and in design. A massive archway marked the entrance to the temple grounds. The main hall was absolutely grand, with intricate wall sculptures, enshrining the Nine Emperor Gods and various other deities.
Instead of just a place of worship, the area surrounding the main temple has been built into something of a tourist attraction, with stalls opening for business selling food and drinks, a grand dining hall, as well as a sizable lakeside garden, among other attractions. Since it was just after CNY, many of the new year decorations were still in place, while the crowd was much smaller compared to the New Year period.
Personally, I think the best time to visit is in the evening. You will have time to pray for a bit, enjoying the view of the surroundings in natural light, all while not having to endure the cruel Malaysian sun. Then, when night falls, watch the temple light up with a different kind of magnificence. Definitely worth a visit, even though it is quite a detour from other places...

Everything is good, the scenes, the food, the fireworks, the activities... Just the dancers and the drunkers not good. Alcohol sold in this place (the only temple where sold alcohol in Malaysia). The interaction between the males and the dancers are too sexual, not suitable for children to visit. 😳😳😳
Live scenes: Some males keep giving angpau, money and lottery tickets to the dancers. The dancers received and shook harder to show thanks. A male asked the dancer to show him how to "blow a trumpet". The dancer said she couldn't do that because her belly was not big enough. But then she drunk a bottle of beer in front of the audiences (with blowing pose?)... 😅 The male keep giving angpau, when the dancer approached him to take, he purposely "splash" a 彩炮 on her body. 😅
Everything is good, just the live show not good... Not suitable for the children and not respect the God. Hope that they can...

The main entrance is so magnificent and shocking. I think this is the most magnificent temple I gone before.
Actually pastime I come this temple quite many times, previously is just a small temple at Kuala Pilah town opposite a mosque. And then now is getting bigger and crowded then started less visit. But I heard they develop bigger and lots of lights and decoration and lots of friend visit only come again.
Inside is very big, how many people come also no problem, but the parking here is not enough, although already alot. It's make others all park road nearby and make the traffic jammed. That's why some of they say come here need 2 hours although the distance just 40 minutes from Seremban.
Inside lots of food stalls, but you know if this kind of festival the price sure expensive. There a huge stage for music perform, and plenty of seat that can eat with watching the...
