About

Quick facts: Tempulli Kek Lok Si përfshin mbi 10,000 statuja të bukura të Budës, duke e bërë atë një nga tempujt më të mëdhenj budistë në Azinë Juglindore. Kompleksi i tempullit mbulon rreth 15 hektarë me dhjetë nivele dhe integron stile arkitekturore kineze, tajlandeze dhe burmeze.

Highlights: Një pagodë masive shtatë-katëshe e Dhjetëmijë Budave qëndron brenda kompleksit, duke kombinuar ndikimet kineze, tajlandeze dhe burmeze, të ilustruara nga skulptura të Budës në poza të ndryshme. Gjatë Vitit të Ri Kinez, mijëra llamba ndriçojnë shtigjet, duke krijuar një det magjepsës të kuqit dhe të artit.
