Peaceful Reflections at Puh Toh Si Temple, Kota Kinabalu

#kotakinabaluguide My trip to Puh Toh Si Temple in Kota Kinabalu was a serene and spiritually uplifting experience. Located on a quiet hill near the city, this beautiful Chinese Buddhist temple stands as one of the oldest and most respected places of worship in Sabah. The moment I arrived, I was greeted by the scent of incense, the sound of soft chanting, and the sight of intricate red and gold decorations adorning the temple halls. The architecture was stunning, with detailed carvings, dragon motifs, and traditional roof designs that reflected centuries of Chinese artistry. I climbed the steps to admire the large golden Buddha statue, feeling a deep sense of calm and gratitude. From the temple grounds, I could also enjoy a lovely view of the city and surrounding greenery. Visiting Puh Toh Si Temple was more than just sightseeing—it was a peaceful pause from the busy world, a chance to reflect and reconnect with inner peace amidst timeless beauty.
