Tour to Kek Lok Si Temple..

As always we arrived in our little MyVi..we are allowed to drive all the way up so thats just what we did..choosing a place to park is easy enough..but the actual hard part is going out!!
The giant statue of the Goddess of Mercy also known as Guan Ying Pu Sa..
It is such a beautiful sight under a shelter supported by 16 dragon pillars imported from China and carved under the hands of experts..
See that white Guan Ying statue head there on the building? That is the original statue 20 years ago..but all underneath the head was burnt because of a fire started off from burning of dried leaves.. the statue's body and was slightly sooted and damaged. this is what I have heard I am not sure whether it is true or not.. The 12 Chinese Zodiac made out of Rat, Cattle, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and lastly Pig.
There is even volunteers selling incense, candles and roof piles (i don't know what it is but i am still thinking!!!!!) For donation and hopefully handle all of the expenses and building funds.
