Kek Lok Si Temple Penang: Buddha, Pagodas & Panoramic Selfies

Looking for peace, culture, and a killer Instagram shot? Welcome to Kek Lok Si Temple in Air Itam, Penang — where thousands of Buddhas keep an eye on you (literally). The star attractions? A 7-tier Pagoda of Ten Thousand Buddhas (yes, you’ll lose count) and a massive 36.5m Goddess of Mercy statue that makes you feel tiny but blessed. 📍 Location: Air Itam, Penang – 30 mins from George Town. 🚌 How to go: Hop on Rapid Penang bus 201/203/204, or just Grab your way up. 💰 Entrance fee: Main grounds free! Pagoda & lift to Kuan Yin? Just a few ringgit (cheaper than your latte). ⏰ Opening hours: 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM, daily. Come for the views, stay for the vibes — and maybe gain some good karma along the way. #holidayitinerary #penangtrip #kekloksitemple
