Thinking of a Winter Wonderland this Christmas but don’t have the budget to fly to snow-capped mountains? Resorts World Genting will keep you cool this festive season without breaking the bank on winter clothes. It’s also a great place to soak in some culture.

First, head over to SeniKome Péng Hēng, which features a thematic showcase of art and cultural essences from Peninsular Malaysia’s East Coast states, Pahang, Terengganu and Kelantan. Then, take the Genting Highlands Premium Outlets Cable Car to Chin Swee Caves Temple.

It’s a truly one-of-a-kind religious site, which took 18 years and RM12 million to build (this was back in 1994 so it would cost a lot more today.) This spot includes a towering 15m Buddha and a dramatic pathway of the “Ten Chambers of Hell”—graphic dioramas illustrating Buddhist morality.

Happy holidays!
