I first saw this structure during chinese new year this year on a forum. It was located in the Tambun area.. I took a drive onto the Tambun to Ampang road entering from Tambun town. About a kilometer on i took a left turn into the hills....in case you are wondering this part of Tambun is mostly Pomelo country...
Another kilometer in... this is what i saw.Nice huh!...I had to get the sunlight shining down ...What struck me was the silhouette of the statues against the hilly backdrop...pomelo orchard in the foreground...is this Ipoh?...it looked like a set for shaolin movie.... ..i drove slowly...thru the trees...
...a golden pond before the destination!....
..as i got nearer.....
..straight on ahead was the temple....
..i parked my car ...i could see the flats along the Tambun/ Ampang road ....
..at the entrance ..prayer wheels... i never saw these in the other Buddhist temples......reminded me of the temples in Tibet...
...these deities have a Hindu influence...is this a Buddhist temple?....
...the entrance opens to this hall.....
..to the right of the hall.....
..prayer wheels...along the corridor...
..went to the side of the the temple.......
it opened out to the side road....the statue of Buddha looked like it was part of another temple.....
..the statue looking downwards ....
..to the left of the hall there were more prayer wheels....
..leading here.....
..blending in with the enviroment.....
.. i went to the back of the temple...
..when i left i checked the signboards at the entrance .... looks like they were different temples
...2 months later ..on a bright & sunny evening on the rooftop of Jaya Jusco i looked towards Tambun and saw these structures....wow it was that tall and it stood out against the foothills ...how lovely...
... i have doctored this shot to accentuate the location of these structures against the backdrop of the hills....outstanding.
cheers.
