The decorative beams, spectacular roofs, domed ceiling, calligraphic couplets, murals and elaborate embellishments reflect the features of Chinese architectural beauty in Malayisa. Managed by the Selangor and Federal Territory Hainan Association, the temple belongs to the Chinese community in the country and public donations have enabled the famous tourist destination to develop by leaps and bounds. The original temple was said to be built some 100 years ago in Jalan Sultan, Kuala Lumpur. After years of planning and fundraising, the ground-breaking ceremony for the new building was held on Aug 30, 1981. In 1987, the RM 7 mil project was completed but it was only opened on Sept 3, 1989 by Tan Sri Lee Kim Sai who was then the Housing and Local Government Minister.
