CNY at FGS Dong Zen

Last Saturday, I went to FGS Dong Zen Temple at Jenjarom with my family. I took about 1 hour and 30 minutes to reach there because the traffic after the Banting exit from Kesas Expressway was very bad. I finally reach there at about eight something.

We have to park our car about 0.5 km away from the temple because the nearer parking were all fulled. One of my friend even have to park the car 1 km away from the temple, which he came 1 hour later than me.

There were a lot of visitors and it is a bit difficult to take photos.



This is the main hall of the temple, in mandarin it is called "Da Xiong Bao Dian". To enter the hall, you have to take off your shoe and leave it outside the hall.

Guess what happen, I nearly lost my shoe there. Fortunately, I finally got it back.







There is a big drum in the hall, it is used for prayer purposes.














One of the lantern hanging in the hall, a typical Chinese lantern. I find this quite unique, that's why I took a photo on this.


















There are many this kind of red color lanterns hanging surrounding the hall.











The left corridor of the hall. There are many shoe racks here for visitor to place their shoe when entering the hall. I saw many old folks sitting on it because there are tired.













At about 10.00 pm, there were performances by representatives from various organisations. Like, Lion Dance, Dragon Dance, Culture Show, Fireworks Display etc.

My son was attracted by the Lion Dance performance and fireworks display.











Before performance, the performers were waiting at the waking path besides the main hall.












The corridor is decorated with many running lights and makes the surrounding areas as in daylight.














Near the entrance, there is a garden decorated with lanterns. There were so crouded and make it very difficult to take photo.











A row of artificial flowers in the garden. I don't have much time to adjust the shuttle and aperture, as such some part of the photo is a bit dark.













Lanterns hanging at the entrance wall. It makes the whole temple look so grand.














At one corner of the main entrance, there is this statue looked very nice.














I think this is the main building that the monks and nuns living.















The trees surrounding the temple also decorated with running lights.
