Seen Hock Yeen Temple is a relatively new temple located hidden off the Chemor-Sg Siput main road. Built on 1.2ha of former tin mining land about 16km north of Ipoh, the temple has Taoism, Buddhism and Confucian characteristics and is taken care of by volunteers from Chemor and the surrounding villages.

I only knew the existence of Seen Hock Yeen temple after being told by my father-in-law about a newly constructed temple in a secluded spot in Chemor. Not knowing what to expect, we decided to pay a visit on the 3rd day of CNY. I was surprised to see such a magnificent temple with a pagoda, carp fishes in lotus ponds, golden statues of the 12 Chinese zodiac animals and calligraphic couplets. I just love the colours of the temple and its surrounding, it was somewhat amazing! Future plans for the temple are underway as part of the temple is still under construction.
