Sip coffee with Buddha in Genting Highland

☕️ If you’re heading to Genting, bookmark this and dont forget to plan a stopover at Chin Swee Temple! The tranquil starbucks there offers a stunning panoramic view of buddha and also a great spot for ig worthy pic!

You might need around two hours to explore around the temple area and take some photos with the beautiful scenery.

Recommended to go in the morning as its more peaceful with lesser crowd and also more cooling weather!

Recommended itinerary:

8:30am: Breakfast in genting highland

9:30am: Take skyway down to Chin swee temple

12pm: Lunch at Chin Swee vegetarian restaurant

1pm: Take skyway one more station down to Genting premium outlet mall for some shopping

psst, if you’re interested in palm and face reading, you can check out the booth ran by mother and daughter located in chin swee caves temple. Its pretty accurate 🤭 check out my post on this here

**updated as of May 2026:

The Starbucks there has permanently closed and has been replaced by Luckin Coffee. Unfortunately, the view of buddha from cafe is no longer available.

Chin Swee Caves Temple
1 day agoEdited to

... Read moreIf you're planning a visit to Chin Swee Temple, it's worth noting that the temple is not just a spiritual sanctuary but also a hub for relaxation and cultural experiences. Taking the Awana Skyway from Genting Highlands down to Chin Swee Station is a scenic journey in itself, offering stunning views of the lush rainforest and hills. Besides the Starbucks café overlooking the majestic Buddha statue, the temple grounds provide plenty of spots to immerse yourself in nature and tranquility. You can spend time wandering around the temple's intricate statues, prayer halls, and gardens while snapping memorable photos. Lunch at the Chin Swee vegetarian restaurant is a must-try, offering flavorful dishes that cater to both vegetarians and curious food lovers. As mentioned, visiting in the morning is ideal to enjoy cooler weather and fewer tourists, enhancing the peaceful atmosphere. For those intrigued by local culture, don’t miss the palm and face reading booth inside the Chin Swee Caves Temple, run by a mother-daughter duo. This adds an interesting and personal touch to your visit. Additionally, the proximity to Genting Premium Outlet Mall means you can conveniently blend spiritual serenity with some shopping, making it a well-rounded day trip. The dress code at the temple is modest and respectful, so dressing appropriately will ensure a comfortable visit. All these elements combined make Chin Swee Temple and its Starbucks not just a coffee stop but a complete, enriching experience within the Genting Highlands itinerary.
