Chin Swee Caves Temple
A Taoist temple built into the hillside, with a nine-storey pagoda, a giant statue of the Qingshui Patriarch and murals of the Eighteen Levels of Hell. Visitors can get off at the midway cable car station.
Chin Swee Caves Temple was founded by Lim Goh Tong, founder of Genting, and completed in 1994. It enshrines the Qingshui Patriarch from Anxi, Fujian, and is built into a rock face at an elevation of about 1,400 metres. Highlights include an eight-sided, nine-storey pagoda (you can climb it for views), a seated statue of the Qingshui Patriarch about 15 metres tall, a giant statue of Shakyamuni Buddha, and the “Eighteen Levels of Hell” murals and sculptures lining the path.
Admission is free. It is open about 07:00–18:00. Get off at the Chin Swee station on the Awana SkyWay, then ride on to the summit after your visit, or drive there. Visibility is poor in fog, and the stone steps are slippery.
