Getting to Chin Swee Caves Temple Genting Highlands : By car or Awana SkyWay (Chin Swee Station)

The Chin Swee Caves Temple (Chinese: 清水岩庙) is a Chinese temple in Genting Highlands, Pahang, Malaysia. It is situated in the most scenic site of Genting Highlands, on a 28-acre plot of rocky forested land donated by Genting Group founder the late Lim Goh Tong. Located 4,600 feet above sea level, the temple is about 5–10 minutes’ drive down from the peak of the mountain.

Within the Chin Swee Caves Temple Genting Highlands is seated a statue of Qingshui, a Buddhist monk who has long been referred to as a deity in Fujian Province, China for his supernatural abilities to summon rain and drive away evil spirits. The temple attracts many local and foreign devotees from Singapore, Taiwan, Vietnam, China, Thailand and Indonesia.

The History of Chin Swee Caves Temple Genting Highlands Attraction

After completing the building of Genting Highlands Resort in 1975, which at that time was just a hotel with a small casino, Lim Goh Tong began construction of the temple. With the same dedication that he demonstrated in developing the Genting Highlands Resort, the late Lim began by gathering a group of friends many of whom were from his own Anxi clan and ancestry village of Penglai in Fujian Province of China, and established the Chin Swee Caves Temple Genting Highlands Temple Society.

Always leading by example, the late Lim began a donation drive by contributing a 28-acre land for the construction of the temple. In addition, his companies Resorts World Bhd and Genting Berhad made a cash donation of RM8.1 million for the building fund. The late Lim was elected as the Chairman of the society while his son, Lim Kok Thay was appointed as its Deputy Chairman.

Chin Swee Caves Temple Genting Highlands which was officially opened on 29 March 1994 by Ling Liong Sik (then the Malaysian Minister of Transport), overlooks lush green slopes of virgin forest with a view of the winding road ascending to Genting Highlands. Such is the tranquility of the place that just by standing there one can feel the peacefulness of the environment in the midst of the moving white clouds and gentle cool breeze.

Construction of the Chin Swee Caves Temple Genting Highlands was both arduous and dangerous due to the steep and rocky terrain, which made it impossible to utilise modern machinery for fundamental work such as piling. However, with the same tenacity and determination that he put in when building Genting Highlands Resort, the late Lim who acted as the planner, architect, designer, contractor and supervisor used manual labour for the digging of the foundation for the temple. He and his team manually dug holes of 80 to 100 ft in depth for this tricky hill slope development.

After all this tedious and time-consuming work the Chin Swee Caves Temple Genting Highlands was completed in 18 years. More importantly, despite adopting such manual approach in extremely difficult situations and risky environment, there were neither casualties nor work-related accidents reported during the whole period of construction.

Chin Swee Caves Temple at Resorts World Genting Highlands

Chin Swee Caves Temple at Resorts World Genting Highlands (https://wp.me/p2OQPP-9Tm) where we escape to the clouds via a glass gondola cable car from the Sky Avenue Mall at Resorts World Genting. Despite the far flung location of this Taoist Chinese Temple it still feels local as it will likely be the most prominent temple within tens of miles in this region. But the temple is just so atmospheric, enshrined in clouds, and it reminds us somewhat of winter in China, only the mists here are refreshing clouds, rather than smog. Or the Himalayas even, as the mists just breeze in and around the compound. In short, it no longer feels like we’re in Malaysia.

So it is very local, and taking the lift to the lower tiers of the temple we are met by a mix of smoky aromas. The smells of burning joss sticks, the smoke from of burning paper Chinese ancestral paper, and the tinge of the Chinese fire crackers which echo loudly through the temple compound.
