Why people love Kek Lok Si Temple

Worth every penny especially if you are a nature lover. Better come in the morning (before 8am) if you hate crowded. I would suggest for you to get a fast lane ticket for train if you can afford it. Please have a light breakfast too before your walk. No signal/weak telco signal, so please at least prepare some cash with you (in case you want to buy something).
