Kek Lok Si Temple, Penang 🏮✨

One of Penang’s most iconic landmarks, Kek Lok Si Temple is a must-visit for its breathtaking views, cultural beauty, and peaceful atmosphere. Located in Air Itam, this grand temple complex is the largest Buddhist temple in Malaysia — filled with colorful pagodas, intricate carvings, and stunning lanterns. The highlight is the towering Goddess of Mercy (Kuan Yin) statue overlooking the city, offering an amazing backdrop for photos. During Chinese New Year, the entire temple lights up with thousands of lanterns, creating a magical, unforgettable scene. Even on regular days, the view from the top gives you a perfect panorama of Penang Island. ⭐️ Famous for: Grand architecture, scenic views & cultural heritage 📷 Fujifilm XS-20 #falladventures #kekloksi #penangtemple #penangtravel #culturalheritage #penangattractions #travelmalaysia #photospotpenang #templeview #lanternfestival #explorepenang
