The Fo Guan Shan Dong Zen gardens become a twinkling fairyland with its beautifully lighted décor.
We left Kuala Lumpur early, around 4 p.m. to avoid the traffic jam. Despite that, we still
encountered very heavy traffic along the way.
On arrival we looked for a restaurant to have an early dinner and we found one in one of the back roads. The meal was delicious, home cooked style.
After dinner we headed for the gardens. It wasn’t dark yet when we reached there and the crowd wasn’t that dense yet. So we managed to get nice photos.
Since this is the Year of the Pig, there were many pig décor, all beautifully lit in various colors and in different poses.
The décor was different in the different areas of the large gardens. There were fish and flowers, butterflies and bees. Some walkways were twinkling with myriad tiny colored lights.

The scope of the decorations was on a smaller scale this year probably because of the funding and it could also be the zodiac animal that reigns this year. Malaysians have to be sensitive to the feelings of others who consider this animal to be unclean.
