Beautiful Temple in the Hills

Nestled in the hills of Air Itam in Penang, Malaysia, the Kek Lok Si Temple stands as one of Southeast Asia's largest and most breathtaking Buddhist temples. The temple is a remarkable testament to both the beauty of Buddhist architecture and the religious diversity of Penang. One of the temple's most striking features is the towering Pagoda of Rama VI. Rising to a height of 30 meters (nearly 100 feet), this seven-tiered pagoda blends various architectural styles, including Chinese, Thai, and Burmese influences. Visitors can climb to the top for panoramic views of Penang Island, a rewarding experience both culturally and visually. Overall, it’s a place where reverence, architecture, and natural beauty harmoniously coexist, leaving a lasting impression on all who have the privilege of visiting. #malaysia #timetotravel #temple #lantern
