 Kek Lok Si Temple by Restless-in-kl
For the best Assam Laksa in Penang, stop by the Air Itam market corner and the shop is located outside the market.
The temple is especially beautiful at night during Chinese New Year with colourful lanterns which add to the air of festivities.
Admission is free. Directions: near Ayer Itam, close to funicular

There is a big pond of turtles which will be released to the sea every year. I have forgotten the date and what the ceremony is called. These turtles are bought and brought by many Buddhists throughout the year. These turtles are released for good deed. I have not thought of the exact translation at the moment, but in Chinese, it is "fang shen". Literally translated as "release life".
Around the temple, there are many carvings and sculptures for photo taking. Climb up to the top of the pagoda to catch a bird's eye view of the area.
Usually in a temple, it is sinful to take pictures of the statue of the god. I am a buddist, so I will not take any pictures inside the area where the statue is cos I believe that is disrespect, and worse with flash. Flash disturb the peace in the temple. Leave a Comment
