Why Visit Chin Swee Caves Temple When in Genting Highlands – Who says visiting houses of worship can only be done by people who embrace the related religion?

Of course not, it even sounds weird! Visiting houses of worship can add and enrich the experience and knowledge of travelers with its distinction and uniqueness instead.

Chin Swee Caves Temple is located 4,600 feet above sea level and at the most scenic site of Genting Highlands. It is on sharp, rocky slope near the peak of Resorts World Genting.

We visited this temple by taking Awana SkyWay Gondola from SkyAvenue Station and we alighted at Chin Swee Caves Station. It only takes six minutes and you just need to take escalators to the temple grounds.

Donā€™t forget to keep your Awana SkyWay ticket as you can use the same ticket to continue your journey either to the peak or to Awana Station. Check my experience riding Awana SkyWay Glass-floor Gondola.

Another alternative to get this temple is by road. You can take a bus or drive your own car for about 5 – 10 minutes and park them in its bays.

As we know Buddhist people believe in karma and reincarnation and no exception in this temple. Probably, the most popular tourist attraction at Chin Swee Caves Temple is the educational Journey to Enlightenment that depicts the 10 Chambers of Hell.

According to Chinese beliefs, the soul of a dead person would be sent to the First Chamber of Hell and his past deeds would be screened by Chin-Kwong-Wang, the King of the First Chamber.

He would decide whether or not and where he should receive punishment. A good soul would be sent for rebirth in the Heavenly Realm and an evil soul would be sent to one of the remaining nine chambers of Hell. Each chamber is empowered to impose various degrees of punishment.
