This temple can be reached by foot from KL Central. The walk through Little India is pleasant. Be aware, there is a hillside walk needed to reach the temple. It isn't too long but it's certainly...

Probably the prettiest Chinese temple in KL Really glad to make a stop here to visit the temple. The side of the temple is actually a marriage registration office and on our visit there, there were actual couples getting married and it was a really unique sight to behold. The temple is kept pristine clean and commands a handsome view of the kl skyline.
