 | Penang Goddess of Mercy (Quan Yin) Temple Reviews | 1 - 10 of 24 |  |
The Goddess of Mercy Temple is an incredibly active place. There are people cooking outside, and more smoke from the tons and tons of incense burning. (This also could be due to my being there on the 15th...since offerings are given during the middle of the month.)
According to the walking tour brochure, this temple was founded in the 1800s....even if you've seen many temples, this one is so active that it's worth seeking out.
Although many people are there to ask for good fortune, there are quite a few who are down on their luck...keep an eye on your bag, your belongings, and use common sense caution. Leave a Comment Address: Jalan Masjid Kapitan Keling

 Inside the main shrine by kenyneo
well its the most popular temple in Penang ...well this temple is devoted to Kuan Yin or Goddess of Mercy ...the legend of her compassion is well known ...my grandma once told me that The Kuan Yin help Penangite during the World War II ...by providing safe shelters to many ....perhaps thats why so many locals throng this temple during Kuan Yin's Birthday ( the 19th day of the second, sixth and ninth lunar month), every 1st and 15th of chinese lunar calender ...Chinese opera or puppet theatre is performed in the granite-paved forecourt on the Goddess of Mercy's feast days
well if you want to pray for safety and good health ..you can buy the joss stick, candles plus the praying papers for RM1.50 only from any stall outside. Well people say those who wish for beauty and youth should offer fresh flowers ....well dont mind trying huh !Happy Leave a Comment Address: cannon streetDirections: near Esplanade

Especially on the eve of Chinese New Year, this temple will be crowded with local Chinese worshippers with incense and offerings for prayers for good health. peace and harmony, prosperity or excellent academic results for children.
It can be very smoky inside and smoke will get into your eyes. Also too many pigeons in the courtyard.
The Hokkiens here called the temple "Kuan Yin Teng". It was built aroud 1801 and thus the oldest temple around.
As there is no much space outside the temple, on the Goddess's birthday, instead of a large stage for an opera, there is a hand puppet show. Used to watch them. Address: Lebuh Masjid Kapitan Keling, George Town

 Kuan Yin Teng temple by dabuwan
It has been built at the beginning of 19th century by the first chinese immigrants and it is always crowded with pilgrims and local people who come here to pray.
The two large burners outside are used by local devotees to burn fake banknotes in order to obtain wealth for the future. Leave a Comment Address: Pitt streetDirections: Central Penang
