Chin Swee Temple, Genting Highland

We had a simple breakfast at the hotel after check out and say : "Bye-bye!" to Genting Highland.
On the way descending from Genting, we dropped by this temple - Chin Swee Temple (N3°24.771' E101°47.311'). It's located approximately 3.7km away from the Theme Park Hotel.

"Chin Swee Temple is a Taoist temple in Genting Highlands, Pahang, Malaysia. It is fully funded by Genting Berhad, even last time during the Genting Berhad founder, Lim Goh Tong's 90th birthday, they donated RM 10 million or USD 2.5 million to the temple." (from wiki)

We parked our car beside this tower, called The Million Buddha Tower (Direct translate from chinese).
