The temple is certainly large, spreading over six tiers. It is managed by Malaysia's Hainanese community who descended from sea-faring fisher folk from the island of Hainan, China.

About Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur, vibrante capitale della Malesia, dove le Petronas Towers dominano i quartieri malesi, cinesi e indiani e un rinomato cibo di strada.

Le torri gemelle Petronas, collegate da una passerella, definiscono lo skyline, con un parco paesaggistico e fontane ai loro piedi. La KL Tower offre una vista diversa dalla sua collina boscosa, e piazza Merdeka, dove la bandiera nazionale fu alzata all'indipendenza, è incorniciata dal Sultan Abdul Samad Building in stile moresco.

Top-ranked sights in Kuala Lumpur: National Mosque of Malaysia (Masjid Negara), Thean Hou Temple, Kuala Lumpur Chinatown.
