Lonely Planet review for Jin de Yuan

At the western end of the Petak Sembilan street market is the large Chinese Buddhist temple compound of Jin de Yuan, which dates from 1755 and is one of the most important in the city. The main structure has an unusual roof crowned by two dragons eating pearls, while the interior is richly atmospheric: dense incense and candle smoke cloud the Buddha statues, ancient bells and drums. There’s some wonderful calligraphy too.
