Expert Review
"Kek Lok Si is said to be the largest Buddhist temple in Southeast Asia and extremely popular as a retreat for monks and Taoists striving for immortality. The best time to visit Kek Lok Si is during the Chinese New Year celebrations, when the temple is adorned with thousands of bright hanging lanterns. At other times, there is still much to see, with prayer halls, pagodas, bell towers and a tortoise pond topping the list."
