Bats Cave Temple

#penangtrip If you are heading to Penang Hill, pop by this small temple for a quick visit. There is a small bat cave inside the temple. Opposite the temple there is also a small tortoise pond. The temple caught fire early this morning and was completely destroyed. The badly destroyed temple marks the end of an epic landmark for Taoist devotees to this majestic temple. The caused of the fire has yet to be ascertained. There are no gimmicks involve, its an actual cave with life bats numbering about 100 odd inside the temple cave. Not a very big Taoist temple though, the shrine is said to be 200 years old and the housed deity is Tua Pek Kong (God of Prosperity) made from granite stone. Like any Chinese temple besides the main deity there are usually a number of other accompanying deities. Devotees far and near throng the temple praying for good luck. For those intended followers who wished to be blessed with good luck will have to wait until the temple have been repair, if any repairs are to be carried out. Those who have never visited this temple hard luck, faith is not on your side until then good luck and may you have another chance to visit this temple again.
