Meet the Small Guardians of Kek Lok Si

#penangspots From a stone bear carved into the railing to a giant fish statue by the bridge, Kek Lok Si is filled with delightful sculptures that feel like they’re watching over the temple. Why I recommend it: These details make the visit more interactive—perfect for families and for travellers who enjoy spotting hidden gems. They’re also a reminder to look beyond the main structures and appreciate the artistry in the small things.
