Chin Swee Caves Temple, 69000 Genting Highlands, Pahang, Malaysia
Magical Temple above The Sky
Have you ever heard about a temple above the sky in Malaysia? If you don’t, please pay a visit to Chin Swee Temple in Genting, Malaysia. Genting is well known as a shopping destination and casino. But not so many people know that there’s a beautiful temple along the mountain. You can take a one day trip from Kuala Lumpur to Genting. Take a bus from KL Sentral and it will bring you to Genting in less than an hour. The bus will depart every 30 minutes. You have to take a cable car to reach the temple and don’t forget to wear a jacket as it’s more getting cold than in Kuala Lumpur. It’s free entrance, no wonder so many people come on weekends. There’s a giant Budha statue and pagoda that makes this temple more beautiful and even more magical when the mist is started appear. Although it's on the mountain, there's a famous coffee shop and restaurant as well.

After walking around Chin Swee Temple and the attraction spots up the hill, we found a nice spot to rest. Found this gelato van/bus which serves very nice ice-cream.
They even offer complimentary tasting and we got to try all the flavours available. The boss, Kenneth, is so generous.
We love their MSW ice-cream. It’s thick and fragrant. Can really taste its originality. Highly recommend the Affogato. D24 durian with a cup of expresso over it. It’s a heavenly experience, amidst the clouds.

Chin Swee Pagoda
#gentingattractions
Chin Swee Pagoda is an amazing spot at Genting Highlands! It's right next to the Chin Swee Caves Temple and definitely worth a visit. The pagoda has 9 levels, each with different Buddhist sculptures, and from the top, you get a stunning panoramic view of Genting, especially during the morning or evening when the mist makes the scene magical. You can take your time climbing the stairs or stroll around the surrounding garden, which is really peaceful. It’s a perfect place to relax and take some beautiful photos!

We were holidaying in Genting Highlands and thus got the chance to visit Chin Swee Caves Temple.
It was a spectacular place with the huge Buddha statue and pagodas. You can also get to marvel at the beautiful view of the mountains and the winding roads with the clouds hovering above there. The experience was made even better with the wonderful cool weather.
