Mood swings are a normal part of life, but sometimes we need a break from our daily routines and troubles.
Imagine finding a peaceful bamboo forest where you can immerse yourself in the beauty of nature and embrace positive energy. Putuo Village, located on the outskirts of Kulai, Johor, is a popular tourist destination set in a scenic bamboo forest. This village is built on Buddhist culture and offers surprises for visitors looking for a bamboo-themed cafe or a spiritual journey.
Here, you’ll find a warm and welcoming atmosphere that will leave you feeling refreshed and recharged. From the tranquil bamboo forest to the vibrant rainbow-coloured pathway and other photo-worthy installations, there’s plenty to explore and discover.
But that’s not all – Putuo Village is also home to a stunning Buddhist temple, where you can participate in various spiritual activities, from turning prayer wheels to drinking holy mountain spring water. The Bodhi Sanctuary within the village houses the largest indoor statue of Zhunti Bodhisattva in Southeast Asia, which is a sight to behold.
No trip to Putuo Village is complete without trying the signature bamboo rice and mouthwatering desserts, such as ice cream served in bamboo branches. You must try dishes like Charcoal-fired Authentic Bamboo Glutinous Rice and Charcoal Grilled Bamboo Turmeric Rice with Fragrant Curry, which is cooked and simmered in fragrant bamboo over a charcoal fire. If you have a sweet tooth, there are soft serves like Bamboo Charcoal Chocolate and Japanese Classic Matcha that will cool down your palate.
