Kek Lok Si Temple | Penang

#PenangTravel For those planning a trip to Penang, Malaysia, we recommend visiting Kek Lok Si Temple. Located on a hill, the temple offers stunning views and a wonderful atmosphere, with a 360-degree viewpoint. Key highlights include the Ten Thousand Buddhas Pagoda, home to 10,000 Buddha images, a large statue of the Goddess of Mercy, and breathtaking views of Penang. The temple boasts beautiful, vibrant architecture, combining wood and marble carvings. Tourists flock here regularly to pay their respects and write ribbons for their blessings. The temple grounds are very large, so allow plenty of time for walking. Getting there: We recommend taking the inclined lift up to the temple, as the walk is steep and long. Address: Kek Lok Si Temple, 86s, Jln Balik Pulau, 11500 Ayer Itam, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia Opening Hours: 8:30 AM - 5:30 PM #PenangKekLokSiTemple #Wat Kek Lok Si #PenangMalaysia #PenangTravels
