Visitor guide
Getting there
In the Batu Kitang area west of Kuching, near Siniawan. Go by car or taxi.
What to do
- See the nine-tier Dharma Lotus Pagoda, which has a lift and holds 500 arhat statues across its levels.
- Walk the grounds to see the Bamiyan-style standing Buddha, the Golden Bell Tower, the Buddha Nirvana Stupa and the South Sea Guanyin statue.
The weather here
Most of the grounds are open air and hot at midday, so go in the morning or late afternoon. Rain is a reason to stay inside the pagoda rather than a reason to cancel, but the steps and paths are slippery when wet.
Good to know
- This is the grounds of a working Buddhist society, with shrines and funeral services: be quiet, dress modestly and follow any signs.
- The village website does not list opening times: phone the village office (see the site) before a long drive.
