Kuan Im See Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Guan Yin Temple is an ancient temple in Penang, built in 1800 by the first batch of immigrants from Fujian and Guangdong who immigrated to Penang. The temple is not very big and not particularly majestic. However, it is deeply valued and welcomed by the Chinese, and it is still the place where Chinese people on the island place their beliefs. The temple is always surrounded by incense mist, and there are always a steady stream of believers who come to burn paper money and incense. On the first, fifteenth day of the new year or the birthday of the gods, many good men and women come from all over the world to worship and pray, draw lots and ask for divination, which is very lively.
