 Guan Di Temple, Kuala Lumpur
Guan Di Temple is one of the two major Chinese temples along Jalan Tun HS Lee in Kuala Lumpur's Chinatown. It is dedicated to Guan Di, the red-faced warrior deity usually depicted with long black beard and holding a guandao, a long pole weapon, in his right hand. The deity is known as the Taoist God of War.
The temple is set behind a small compound and entered through an entrance arch. The main gateway into the temple has two warrior guardians franking either sides of the doorway.
