TianHou Temple at noon and DongZen Temple at night

Sounds like a devotee? Yes. Temple after temple on the 5th Day of Chinese New Year (年初五). We went to TianHou Temple, the biggest temple in KL after brunch (Malaysian slang: Breakfast and Lunch together!), and visited the Taiwan’s FuoGuangShan (佛光山) initiated DongZen Temple after dinner. It was actually planned by me. If you have read my previous post about TianHou Temple at night and FGS DongZen Temple at day last year, this is an update to the same places but in different time of day!

What are the 2 things dominated temples during Chinese New Year? Bingo! It’s lanterns and incense. Here are some photos captured in Tian Hou Temple…

There were people all over the temple who came here for prayer, devotion, site seeing, lantern watching, photo taking and so on…

What you could see from the above photos other than lanterns are lanterns or else lanterns. Have you got enough?

In the evening, we travelled for 1 and a half hour to another temple in Jenjarom, near Banting, Selangor. It’s DongZen Temple. Parking were all full and we needed to parked our car 2 blocks away. DongZen temple is the uprising destination during Chinese New Year because of it’s attractive lighting at night. Many people come here merely for it light decorations every year. I’m one of them…

All decorations with lighting are creatively designed and constructed with steel frame and thin cloth.

Wu Hoo! (五虎) Five tigers in the Year of Tiger.

GuanYin in a lotus pond.

Lanterns. This time is a mix of red and yellow lanterns…

At around 10:00pm, actress acting like a GuanYin (观音) parading in the crowd and splashing holy water to the crowd.

This sculpture of Buddha attracted many crowds as well.

Remember where the ‘paper felt’ buddha statue stood last year? It’s GuanYin statue this year…

As there were so crowded inside the compound, I did not take many photos indeed. These are just some introduction images to DongZen Temple at night. The traffic was so jam when we left the place and guess what? We reached home at 1:30am!

Today is the 11th Day of Chinese New Year. There are still 4 days for whoever interested to see all these lighting and lanterns at these 2 temples. And I’m still have 4 days to celebrate this Chinese New Year of Tiger. GONG XI FA CAI – Travel Feeder, your only travel photo blog.
