#malaysiatrip Great space to pay respects. Surprisingly, a little small and not many deities to pray to. It didn't have signs to where you should pray in sequence and you'll just have the uncles and aunties screaming at you in Mandarin where you should go instead. Noticed we were not the only one because they did that to anyone new who came to pay respects......

Next to the old Chinese temple is a Hindu temple and a beautiful flower market along the walkway. #johor #malaysia
