Now, the temple looks simply beautiful. It’s not too bright or sparkling. The atmosphere is quiet and peaceful. You can have a leisure sightseeing around.

There are quite many Lord Buddha statues, all of which you can go and pay respect to. But the highlight of Wat Klang temple is the Shan pagoda. It is in the middle of the temple.
