Kuan Di Temple

This temple is located very strategically in the Pasar Seni area — within walking distance from Pasar Seni LRT. I came here because my friend wanted to go to a temple.
Everyone is welcome here — I saw many tourists when I was there. You can buy joss sticks for RM2. My friend also did the «fortune-telling”/“asking» thing — I am not entirely sure what it is called (sorry if I am making a mistake here) but she shook one of those containers with sticks and a stick would fall out. The number of the stick then tells you about your «fortune» or the question that you asked while shaking it.
She then had to take a piece of paper corresponding to the number of the stick. Because none of us can read Chinese characters, we asked one of the guys working there for help. He was extremely helpful and explained to my friend. If you are not sure with anything, I suggest you talk to the man (in the picture) for help.

The Kuan Di Temple is located close to Chinatown in Kuala Lumpur. It’s location is very accessible. Everybody can come here via public transport or by car. This temple looks old, but well maintained. It is quite of a small temple however. Devotees or not, everybody is welcomed here. Also, everybody can buy a roll of incense sticks to offer your prayers to the deities.

One of the oldest temples in Kuala Lumpur which has more than 100 years of history, and it is located at a prime location of Kuala Lumpur — near Chinatown, Petaling Street. Expect no parking at this area, but you can also opt to take a train and stop at Pasar Seni Station. You can reach there within 3 minutes of walk.
Throughout the years, there are many changes in this temple, especially the big two Kwan Yew Statues guarding the main entrance of the temple. The entire architecture of this temple is similar with the Chinese temples or the olden Chinese houses you can see in pictures, or you may also find similarities if you visit houses in rural China. There is an open roof in the middle of the temple where it allows the wind to go in and out freely from the temple. There is also a place that you can burn your offerings in a designated place in the temple.
If you wish to do some prayers, please go in and ask the staff for the price of joss sticks (RM5) and they will teach you how you should be praying and the number of joss sticks at Gods. During peak periods (especially Chinese New Year, Chinese festivals, Kwan Yin Goddess festivals) you can expect the crowds at this temple!!! To avoid this, you can always go to the temple early in the morning because they are open as early as 7am during the weekdays. Usually it is close during the weekends.
I spent most of my childhood here because mom always brings me here for prayers. Whether am I a staunch Toaist? I don’t really know because I only practise this when I want or feel like doing.
Tips: You can wear shoes while entering the temple and offer your prayers. Picture taking is fine but please do not offend the workers there. Be polite and do not make too much noise in the temple.
