Chin Swee Caves Temple Genting Highlands

The Chin Swee Caves Temple is located 4,600 feet above sea level on a 28 acre plot of rocky, forested land donated by Genting Group Founder Tan Sri Dato Seri (Dr) Lim Goh Tong. It is about 5-10 minutes drive down from the peak of the mountain. It is the most scenic site of Genting Highlands.

One of the attractions is the newly-built observation square called the Sky Terrace. Spanning across 35,000 square feet, the Sky Terrace was built for guests to take a leisurely walk among the 'clouds in heaven'.

A large statue of the late Tan Sri Dato' Seri Lim Goh Tong erected in honor of his dedication to the Chin Swee Caves Temple stands tall in the vicinity of the Sky Terrace.

Nine colour dragon wall of luck is at the main entrance of the Temple. The nine colours represent different type of luck. For instance, in ancient folklore, a scholar meeting a yellow dragon would be destined to become a high-ranking official.

The most popular tourist attraction is the Journey to Enlightenment that depicts the Ten Chambers of Hell. According to Chinese beliefs, the soul of a dead person would be sent to the First Chamber of Hell and his past deeds would be screened by Chin-Kwong-Wang who would decide whether he should receive punishment.

A good soul  would be sent for rebirth in the Heavenly Realm.
