4pm ish.
I was on my way towards Jenjarom, Fo Guang Shan’s Dong Zen Temple.
The ride was smooth sailing, only with a stop at the Petronas gas station in Jenjarom town asking for a direction, because it was my first trip to Dong Zen Temple, so just making sure that the way was right!
The main gate opened right on the dot at 6pm. So surprisingly, I spotted quite many photography hobbyists at the temple compound. As the blue sky got deepened, visitors were apparently more. At the ‘Auspicious Tiger Lantern’, I met an elderly couple, and I even offered to help snapping a 2-shot of them.
The main theme of this festival is of course the tiger, and it’s called ‘Marvelous Malaysia Tiger’. The theme lantern is located at the back of temple compound, and the lantern comprises of 4 tigers, 3 smaller ones and one big one, and the tallest point reaches 20 feet.
The festival is held from the 12th until 28th of February, and various programs are lined up during the opening period. Pls check out the program list HERE.
Do visit the temple with your family during this new year. If you are traveling in Kuala Lumpur or the surrounding areas, do make time for this yearly event, a half day trip is good enough.
Meanwhile, I would like to wish everyone a ‘very happy’ Chinese New Year and of course Gong Xi Fa Cai!!!
