The Thean Hou Temple is a 6-tiered temple built by Hainanese living in Malaysia, dedicated to the Chinese sea goddess Mazu. This syncretic temple with elements of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism is a grandiose structure that combines modern architectural techniques and traditional design featuring imposing pillars, spectacular roofs, ornate carvings and intricate embellishments. Its grand architecture has made it a popular tourist destination.
Thean Hou Temple is a beautiful location for photography and venue for your registration of marriage ceremony. The popular date is of course 14th Feb Valentine’s Day, the perfect day to tie the love knot. The queue will be longer so make sure you book a place first. During Chinese New Year, the temple surroundings will be decorated with rows and rows of red lanterns. The view is indeed very impressive.
After you have secured an auspicious date and made your reservation, book your wedding vendors, check their rates and reviews: Photographers, Makeup Artists, Gowns.

We woke up pretty early to get ready and then off he went to pick his family up while i triple check all the other items that we had to bring along with us. Because it’s a weekday, we headed over to the temple slightly earlier (just in case there would be jam on the road) but thankfully we were there really early. so we had time to take a couple of shots and catch up with friends. Waited for about an hour before it was our turn. The whole registration process was pretty fast. we took a couple of photos inside before the officer came in and then exchange oaths and we’re official signed off the market. Jul 2015 | |
Very Chinese like venue where it is well known for their ROM Services among couples. There is a beautiful scenery on top of the upper deck where the temple is located. It is a nice place to go and it is really pack during Chinese New Year. Parking space is limited but they provide shuttle bus. You can have foods and get a lot of souvenir from the lower ground floor. The atmosphere over Chinese new year was incredible, everyone was very friendly and the building is so impressive. The view from the second floor was great, I also adored all the lanterns. Definitely worth going. http://www.tallpiscesgirl.com/2016/03/valentines-rom-thean-hou.html#.WL-vY39Ig2x |
