Chin Swee Temple (GPS: 3.41259, 101.78812) is a Buddhist temple in Genting Highlands, Pahang. It was constructed by Genting founder Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong in 1975. Together with a group of friends, Tan Sri Lim pooled a fund for the temple. He also made a personal donation of RM8.1 million towards the building fund.

Chin Swee Temple occupies a 28-acre site on the hill slop about 4,600 feet above sea level. It offers splendid views of the surrounding Titiwangsa mountain range.

Chin Swee Temple took 18 years to build. It was finally officially opened to the public on 29 March 1994. The temple is now open daily from 7:30am to 6:00pm. Among the sights here include the Goh Tong Hall Residence and Chin Swee Deity Hall.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
