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.

FGS Dong Zen, Jenjarum has done it again! Magnificently crafted statues, thousands of brightly lit lanterns and fluorescent lights and on-going CNY themed activities, FGS Dong Zen has proved that it is indeed a place not to be missed during CNY.

FGS Dong Zen has never failed to enlighten its visitors with a fresh new look every year, themed according to the zodiac animal signs of the Chinese Lunar calendar. Other than the over-crowding that led to difficulty in getting a car park, I was very pleased with the over-all setting and atmosphere of the place and will definitely make the visit to FGS Dong Zen a yearly itinerary during each CNY.
