Pagoda of a Thousand Steps

#penangspots One of the highlights of Kek Lok Si is the stunning pagoda that towers over the hill. Its unique mix of Chinese, Thai, and Burmese architectural styles makes it a real photo magnet. I loved how every level seemed to tell its own story with colourful tiles and intricate sculptures. Getting there was part of the adventure! The long red-covered walkway kept me shaded from the sun, and the climb gave me plenty of chances to admire the view. Reaching the pagoda felt like a little achievement, and the sight was worth every step.
