AYER TAWAR KUAN YIN TEMPLE

Nestled in a Palm Oil Estate in Ayer Tawar is a Kuan Yin Temple that not many of us know of.  I actually got to know about its existence from the Contractor who made the grill for my house, Mr Quah who is a committee member of the temple. 

At first when he told me about the temple and how beautiful it was, I was a bit sceptical.  He had volunteered to take me there when my house was being renovated but at that time I was busy and said I'd take a raincheck.  Well, I finally visited the temple and Mr Quah kept his word to take me there though he was busy with word.  I also invited Lai Yoong along.

Both of us agreed that the Ayer Tawar Kuan Yin Temple is a place worth visiting.  The place is super clean and the statues and idols are works of art.  Indeed, the temple is beautiful.

Lovely Lotus stool that the temple medium would sit on while in a trance.
