Located just outside Kuala Lumpur's city centre, this six-tiered Chinese temple honours Mazu, the revered sea goddess. Since its opening in 1989, the active worship site has drawn visitors with its striking architectural features, from the grand prayer hall altars to the tiered roofs adorned with intricate carvings. The temple is open to tourists, but expect devotees filling the temple, burning incense offerings and praying. You can explore independently or join organised tours to appreciate this lesser-known gem's cultural and artistic significance.

Toulon’s 19th-century opera house is worth a visit, whether for a concert, an opera, or just to admire the architecture. Check the schedule while you’re in town—you might catch something interesting.

Toulon Cathedral (Cathédrale Sainte-Marie-de-la-Seds) has been a work in progress since the 11th century, with each era leaving its mark. The mix of styles—from medieval to baroque—makes it a bit of an architectural patchwork, but that’s what makes it interesting. Step inside, and you’ll see centuries of history layered together in one place.
