Xing'an Temple is a beautiful Guandi temple in South Cheras Area The temple is not big, but you can visit the large, golden statue of Guan Gong outside and the Five Tiger Generals behind it. The statue of the deity Guan Di is said to be the tallest statue (of Guan Di) in Selangor Guandi, is a Chinese god of war is a natural favourite of soldiers but has been chosen patron of numerous trades and professions. This is because Guan Yu, the mortal who became Guandi after death, is said by tradition to have been a peddler of bean curd early in life. Emperor Huizong of Song, a bumbling ruler but a devoted Taoist, was the first ruler to make Guan Yu a “deity” in the official Taoist canon. The founder of the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) later gave him the higher title of “(heavenly) emperor.” Xing’an is definitely beautifully and colourfully litted up at night and worth a visit if you are in the area!! There is a also a chinese restaurant- Tien Xia Restaurant, conveniently attached by the left side of the temple and it seem pretty packed so am guessing the food is good Address - Lot 399, Jalan Balakong, Batu 11 Cheras, 43200 Kajang, Selangor. #thingstodo #temples #guanditemple #cheras

#newyearnewtrip #travelanywhere During my recent visit to the Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR) Sungai Long Campus, I was immediately struck by the campus's lively and artistic atmosphere. The walls here have been transformed into an ever-evolving canvas, with stunning murals created by both students and staff. These works of art, mostly adorning the stairwells, not only brighten up the space but also encourage UTARians to take the stairs—an inspiring mix of creativity and practicality. Walking through the campus, I felt a palpable energy, as each mural seemed to tell a unique story. From abstract designs to culturally inspired pieces, every corner was a celebration of expression. It’s clear that UTAR has become much more than a place for academic growth—it’s a hub for artistic and creative collaboration, blending education with the power of visual art. The vibrant murals make the campus a truly inspiring place to be, and I left feeling more connected to the spirit of innovation and creativity that defines UTAR.

Taking the subway from the northwest of Kuala Lumpur to the southeast of Kuala Lumpur is a long experience. Starting from Damansara Damai Station on Line 12 in the northwest, transfer to Line 9 on the dark green line to Bandar Tun Hussein Onn Station in the southeast. The entire journey is 30km and takes about 70 minutes. It is a very comfortable experience! #ishafoundation #innerengineering #localtour #suryakriya #innerengineering #sadhguru

Was quite worth it considering the price, but a lot of stuff was old and yellowish, some even not working or still had the old ibis hotel logo still on it. And I couldn't call the reception, had to walked down to ask for toothbrush (which they did not provide or had any). Location was great as it's close to alot of restaurants. Parking was free too if you park outside. In door parking has charges but not sure how much… but saw previous review it says rm3 per entry…. so would suggest you to park outside for the day as you’ll go out for lunch and dinner, and when you’re back from dinner park inside as it’s safer with guards guarding it..

Adjacent to Silka Cheras Kuala Lumpur, Cheras Sentral mall’s retail outlets are spread across eight floors.

Sunday lunch vibes! Just had another go at Koya Japanese restaurant in Mahkota Cheras and OMG, it’s anything but basic. If you think grabbing random supermarket sushi counts as a real Japanese meal… think again! 🍣✨ This spot is straight-up authentic, with a chef who actually trained in Japan and brought all that passion home to Malaysia.

Major value for your money, so your wallet won’t be crying at the end. It’s a family-run place, so the vibes are warm and cozy. The owners are super friendly and always make sure you’re taken care of, which makes you feel right at home.

If you want a more relaxed experience without the morning rush, a dim sum dinner is a fantastic "local" hack. • Pair with Tea: Don't forget to order a pot of Chinese tea (like Pu-erh or Jasmine) to cleanse the palate between those rich, savory dishes. 💰 The Verdict: Quality Meets Value Jin Xuan remains a top contender for the best value-for-money dim sum in the area. With generous portions and consistent quality, it’s easy to see why the locals keep coming back.
