this the first temple i have ever seen with high wall in front, that makes us hard to see the unique and ancient so called exterior. the temple is guarded by some less friendly officers who seem to be ready to bark to any violation that you might do. pretty much ..there is nothing interesting to see in the temple,...

To the local Johorean, we seldom visit this over 100 years temple on normal day. It is at its most interesting state on 2 occasions - 1) the night before 1st day of Chinese New Year and 2) 20th to 23rd of Chinese New Year period. 1) We visit this temple on the night before 1st day of CNY after...

Again there is not much to see of culture in Jb so this was a small side trip. Looks like other temple, and find more beautiful temple other places in Malaysia

It wasn't anything special but nice to see and the people were very friendly even keeping it open for us past closing time.

Well worth a stop while in JB. Small temple with a few different areas. Most of the other visitors are using the temple - not tourists. I doubt it will take long to visit, 15 minutes maybe, but it is a nice temple. Also there really isn't much amazing in JB so while this may be average I think it... More

Dun know how to describe, cos u will of cos feel surprisingly small this temple is, but if u have the chance to come to the parade at every 21 of first month in Chinese calendar, then u can understand what Johoe Old Chinese Temple means for every Chinese Johorean.

Popped over cos it was just next to my hotel (Puteri Pacific) and they were having a major festival then. Very crowded, very lively, very colourful, very exciting to watch. The temple itself is also cool as it is a functioning real place of worship used by locals, with authentic local sights (temple decor, local worshippers), sounds (prayers, chants) and... More

Very small and non-picturesque on the outside. We were lucky, though, as it was Chinese New Year, so there were many people around, and they were very helpful and willing to explain things to us.

The Old Johor temple is a nice place to begin to get a bit of understanding of the various Chinese communities in Malaysia. The temple is open to visitors and you are allowed to take photos. On the right side is a small walk-through museum explaining some of the history of the Chinese settling in Johor and some info about... More
