Chin Swee Temple

I noticed that Chin Swee Temple has been expanded compared to the last time I visited here in 2005.

There is a complex now with an underground drive way beneath it. I don't remember seeing it previously.

I read that they took 18 years to build this temple and it was finally completed in 1993.

Anyway, enjoy the pictures.

How to drive to Genting Highlands?

How to drive to Genting Highlands if you are driving from the north? Here's the guide for you!
This driving directions are for those driving from the north.

As you are driving along the PLUS highway, you will see a signboard indicating left to Tanjung Malim, Kuala Kubu Bharu and UPSI (Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris). Exit into this interchange.

Exit the PLUS highway at the Tanjung Malim interchange. It will take you about one hour to reach the peak of Genting Highlands after exiting the PLUS highway.

You will reach the PLUS Toll Plaza. After paying the toll, you will see an elevated highway in front of you. Just drive straight and you will reach a T-junction with traffic lights.

At the end of the T-junction with the traffic lights, you will see a signboard indicating Kuala Kubu Bahru and Kuala Lumpur to the right. So, turn right (You can't turn left, anyway).

As you turned right, you will be driving down from the elevated highway and yes, you are now on your way to Genting Highlands. You will be driving along the old trunk road to Kuala Lumpur.

You will see many signboards along the road. Just drive straight and don't turn left or right.


Soon, you will reach a cross-junction. Just drive straight, don't turn left or right. Turning left at this junction will lead you to Bukit Fraser. So, don't drive up to the wrong hill!

Soon, you will see a signboard indicating Genting Highlands is another 36km to go.


More signboards to come. Just drive straight. There is another junction to the left again to Bukit Fraser.

Roughly about 20 to 30 minutes after your exit from the PLUS highway, you will hit the Batang Kali town. You will soon reach a T-junction with a signboard indicating left to Genting Highlands together with Batu Caves, Hulu Yam Bharu, and Ulu Rening. Immediately before the T-junction, there is a small bridge with a small river below. Turn left at this T-junction. Driving straight will lead to Kuala Lumpur.

As you turned left, you will see a blue colour building on your left at the corner of the T-junction. I believe it is some sort of a Malay bazaar. If you have driven here many times, this building is quite obvious. Now, just drive straight along the road. Don't turn left or right.


You will drive through two cross-junctions with traffic lights. At these two cross junctions, you will see modern shophouses on your left and right. You will also see a signboard indicating Genting Highlands upfront. So, just drive straight.

Drive straight until you see a signboard indicating left to go to Genting Highlands. So, turn left at this cross-junction.


As you turned left, you will see another signboard telling you Genting Highlands is another 30km. Yes, you are now on the right track to Genting Highlands. You will be driving up the hill and give yourself another 15 mintues and you should reach the police roadblock nearby the Genting Cablecar Skyway Station.

You will drive pass some cable cars above you and just follow the signboards, you should reach the peak of Genting Highlands in another 15 minutes. There are more than enough signboards for you now.

Genting Highlands! I'm coming!
