A blissful Kek Lok Si Temple

Kek Lok Si Temple is one blissful place where one can find solace
and peace with ones inner self,
for a temple which construction first started in 1890,
more than 120 years ago
and after many upgrades and additions,
 hopefully we can finally say,
 it's finally finished.

(scalfoldings were erected for lighting installation for 2011 CNY lightup)






Row of Buddha statue line the wall.


Beautifully carved wall of the temple.




The Inclined Lift up the hill to the Kuan Yin Statue from the Pagoda.
