Tokong Guan Di

I was in Taiwan for learning about cultures and religions of Chinese. I’ve seen many temples in Taiwan and I’m glad to see our very own Guan Di temple retains many important traits and shows strong connection to the original belief in China /​Taiwan without many own twist and tweak in stories.
From the structure of the rooftop to the god statues in the temple, the original traditional features are well retained. Built in 1888 and aged for more than 1020 years, this temple is definitely one of the must-​visit places for those who travel back in time to the old Kuala Lumpur.
Similar to other temples, more than one god is worshipped. Apart from Guan Di (the God of War), gods like Guan Yin (Goddess of Mercy), Choy Sun (God of Prosperity) and Wen Chang (God of Academic) are worshipped. You can see the prayers offering some food /​gifts for the god that they pray after. Slow down your pace upon entering the temple, you will get to see many little yet interesting scenes such as putting academic result slip near the statue of Wen Chang for getting blessing to score in exam and etc.
This temple might be small, but it is enough to accommodate multiple stories and folk belief through unique features and scenes.
Worthwhile, totally bringing me back to the China /​Taiwan to feel the Chinese culture.
