Manage to finally go down to the Chin Swee Caves Temple, and indeed that is the main event for my trip this time! Was very very surprised to see the temple space area was HUGE. I initially thought that there is only a small temple but upon entering, its "WOW" all the way...
Do not be fooled by the photo's size for the Buddha statue, He is HUGE!!!!!
There is also a "Haw Par Villa"-like place inside, showing the 10 levels of Hell... Not to really frighten people, but to try to guide people into not doing bad deeds...
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva statue... He vowed not to achieve Buddha-hood until all the levels of Hell are empty...
Some pics of the 10 Levels of Hell scenes... Don't the figures remind you of "Haw Par Villa"?...
There is also a LARGE statue of the Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva, in the chinese depiction of course, inside... There are also the 18 Arhats statues, but due to bad lightings, I did not capture them down on pics...
The very tall pagoda! Wanted very much to climb up but seeing the levels, and my ankle is also acting up then, I decided not to... But still very magnificent building...
Got many other statues, like the Fu Lu Shou (福禄寿) which represented Good Fortune, Prosperity and Longevity respectively. (Note picture below, from right to left are Fu, Lu and Shou respectively)...
The Nine-Dragons-Wall...
The day was good weather with sun but very cool!!!!
Totally enjoyed my trip this time...
Oh, saw this "风扇" while having high tea in Resorts Hotel cafe!
