THE FAMOUS AND POPULAR DRAGON BOAT TEMPLE WAS BUILT AFTER ITS LATE ABBOT DREAMED ABOUT A GOLDEN, GLITTERING AND GLORIOUS DRAGON BOAT SAILING PEACEFULLY, NOT ON A SHIMMERING SEA, BUT AMONG THE COCONUT TREES ON DRY LAND!

THIS WAS SO UNUSUAL BUT WHEH HE WOKE, THE DREAM REMAINED VIVID AND FOR 7 NIGHTS HE HAD THE SAME WONDERFUL DREAM.

THE ABBOT DECIDED HE WAS ENTRUSTED TO BUILD THIS VISION WITH MORTAR, BRICKS AND PAINT AND SO BEGUN A LONG LABOUR OF LOVE THAT TOOK 7 YEARS TO COMPLETE ON A LIMITED BUDGET!

TODAY IT IS A MAJOR TOURIST ATTRACTION AND A TEMPLE USE DBY BUDDHISTS FROM KELANTAN AND ALL OVER MALAYSIA! IT IS AROUND 35 MINUTES DRIVE FROM KOTA BARU.
