#klinsider
Passing by on a visa processing in Kota Bahru. Magnificent and holy place for Buddhist religion. The main attraction is the large reclining Buddha. There is a smaller sized four faced Buddha situated on its left front. There is another side temple housing the Kuanyin goddess. Near the entrance is a small stall selling fresh coconut drinks. There are other buildings for meditation and prayers. Beautiful temple and worth visiting. There are shops at the side where you can eat and have some drinks. The temple is well maintained and clean. There are stray dogs so just be careful and aware to avoid being bitten. One of a kind, unique and interesting place. It houses one of the largest sleeping buddha in south east asia. It is a must-go attraction for tourist, and holy place for believers.
