As the sun began to set over Kuala Lumpur, we hopped into a Grab taxi from the city centre and made our way to one of the city's most beautiful landmarks: Thean Hou Temple. It was just after 7 p.m., with closing time at 8, giving us the perfect golden-hour window to explore.
The temple, perched on a hill overlooking the city, offered stunning panoramic views and that evening, we were treated to a breathtaking sunset over the skyline. As daylight faded, the lanterns and decorative lights around the temple slowly began to glow. The soft twilight made the reds, golds, and oranges of the architecture feel almost magical.
Entry is completely free, and you're free to wander at your own pace. With fewer visitors at that hour, the atmosphere was calm and peaceful, a gentle end to a busy day in KL.
Whether you're into architecture, culture, or just chasing a beautiful moment, Thean Hou Temple at dusk is a must.
