Sin Sze Si Ya Temple, Taoist temple in central Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The temple features traditional Chinese architectural elements with intricate carvings, ornate panels, and two main halls dedicated to patron deities.
Kapitan Yap Ah Loy established this temple in 1864, making it the first Taoist religious structure in Kuala Lumpur during the city's early development.
The temple maintains regular religious ceremonies where devotees offer incense, perform rituals, and seek guidance through fortune-telling sticks called kao chim.
Located near Petaling Street, the temple welcomes visitors daily from 7 AM to 5 PM, with convenient access from Pasar Seni or Masjid Jamek stations.
Two century-old sedan chairs stand at the entrance, along with a memorial plaque honoring significant Chinese leaders of early Kuala Lumpur.
