On your way up or down the Genting Highlands,there is a Chin Swee Caves Temple which is worth a visit.

The Chin Swee Caves Temple was built in 1976 and it was named after the Late Ven. Rev. Chin Swee of the Soong Dynasty in the 11th Century. A devout Buddhist, Chin Swee touched and warmed the hearts of many with his kindness as a good samaritan.

Besides being a sanctuary for worship, the Chin Swee Caves Temple is also a wonderland of legends and myths of the Chinese ancestors.Designed and built according to Feng Shui and Chinese architecture, it is located at 4,600 feet above sea-level on 28 acres of vast landscaped gardens.

The entire project took 18 years to complete and works are still being carried out to continuously improve the facilities of the temple.The Genting Group, the public and devotees have contributed substantially towards the temple building fund.

Most people visiting Genting Highlands are too busy with the casino and entertainment activities e.g. rides, performances but if you have time, do walk around the outside and breathe the cool and fresh air. You will also discover the quieter side of Genting Highlands e.g. surrounding mountains, residential apartments, areas around different hotels etc.

When you are taking the cable car up to Genting Highlands, you will notice that there are statues of animals, people etc on the slope below. They are not very prominent and sometimes can be missed if you are focusing on the distance mountain scenery.

Because of the many entertainment activities and the foggy weather, many people have overlooked the natural beauty of Genting Highlands, especially the beautiful mountain scenery. On a clear day, the sorrounding mountains are very beautiful and I have taken some photos and display them on the travelogue section of this VT page for you to enjoy :)
