Penang's Largest Buddhist Temple: Kek Lok Si Temple

📍Access Located about 20 minutes by car from the center of George Town. If you use Grab, it costs around RM10–15 (approximately $2.50–$3.50). A cable car is available to take you to the top, making it convenient even for those who prefer not to walk. ✨Highlights Famous for its seven-tiered pagoda and a massive statue of the Goddess of Mercy, every corner of this temple is a picturesque photo spot! The colorful lantern-lined pathways and the breathtaking views from the hilltop are not to be missed. During the Chinese New Year light-up period, the temple becomes even more magical. 💰Fees Admission is free, but the cable car ride costs around RM6 for a round trip. There are small cafes and souvenir shops within the premises, so plan to spend about two hours here to fully enjoy the experience. 💡Tips Visit in the morning when it’s cooler and less crowded. Don’t forget a hat and drinking water! Remember to dress modestly and respectfully while inside the temple.
