Perched majestically on Air Itam hill, this ornate Chinese Buddhist temple draws pilgrims and visitors seeking spiritual reflection amid fragrant incense smoke and golden pagodas. The temple's seven-tiered pagoda dominates the skyline with its intricate tiled roof and bronze Buddha statue, while countless shrines and prayer halls wind through the hillside grounds. It's one of Southeast Asia's largest Buddhist temples, pulsing with genuine devotion during festivals when thousands gather to honor their faith.
