Spellbinding Kek Lok Si Temple

#yearofrabbit If you're in Penang during Lunar New Year, visiting Kek Lol Si Temple is a must! A great tip to avoid the jam is to get to Air Itam earlier, get your fill of the famous laksa, then slowly head on up to the temple. During the 1st and 8th day of CNY, you can also catch plenty of fireworks display. Best to get up to the pagoda for a spectacular view. Don't forget that since this is a temple, please be respectful of the place. Address - Kek Lol Si Temple, Jalan Balik Pilau, 11500 Air Itam, Penang Facilities - Food; There's cafes on the way up. Not forgetting laksa and other Penang favourites at the market. There are restrooms and retail shops in the temple. Highlights - The temple only lights up for a month once a year during Chinese New Year from 8.30pm onwards (starting from 28 Jan - 28 Feb 2023) Avg. Price per Person - Totally Free! Rating - 5/5 #yearofrabbit #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #newyearadventure #penang
