Wei Tuo Fa Gong Temple


Sitting on a small hillock overlooking a pond filled with carp and turtles, this 80-year-old temple decorated with thousands of prayer flags, contains a number of shrines surrounded by a huge variety of statuettes and iconography. Be greeted by the large golden Buddha as you enter. Take the first right after the Jelutong Bridge on Jln Jelutong.
