Where Buddha Watches Over Your Brew – Starbucks Chin Swee

#springitinerary #thingstodo #visitmalaysia2026 It’s not every day your cup of tea comes with a view of a giant Buddha. Tucked within the serene grounds of Chin Swee Caves Temple in Genting Highlands, Starbucks Chin Swee offers more than just your usual caffeine fix — it delivers a tranquil visual escape. One particular corner of this café features a floor-to-ceiling glass window framing a stunning view of the towering Buddha statue outside. It’s a peaceful pause between sightseeing and spiritual reflection. After walking around the temple’s winding paths and staircases, this Starbucks becomes an ideal resting spot. Whether you’re sipping a hot latte or a refreshing iced tea, the moment feels extra special when paired with such a rare view. That said, seating is limited, so you may need to wait a bit or visit during off-peak hours to fully enjoy the space. But if you’re lucky enough to grab a window seat, it’s well worth it. Travel Tips: • Visit early morning or late afternoon for a quieter vibe. • Bring a light jacket — it can get chilly at this altitude.
