Lao Zi Temple — Local services in Pahang

Located in a quiet place in the northwest of Kuantan city.

The only Laozi temple in Malaysia.

The whole temple is full of magical colors and looks! It's like entering another world. The elements are also mixed. From the biographies of celebrities in history to the various gods in the legendary myths, they are all very vividly displayed in 3D. The most eye-catching, important and largest element is the "dragon".

Tickets start at 5RM for an adult. The ticket seller will remind you "don't forget to ring the bell".

Here, there are lots of statues of deities, various goddesses, animals of the Chinese zodiac, and a statue of Laozi himself.
