The special thing about Guan Di Temple in Kuala Lumpur which marks it apart from the many other Guan Di temples around the world are its replica 'guan dao' spear and 'guan jie' sword into which some believe Guan Di have imparted mystical powers which the faithful can benefit from by touching or lifting the replica. Guan Di Temple is so beautiful and also very popular here in Kuala Lumpur. Don't miss this wonderful attraction in KL😍
