Penang Hill & Temple

Penang's 'Pearl of the Orient' carries a natural beauty and cultural splendour like no other place. Although Penang is a small island, has no shortage of cultural sights and natural scenery.
The Hill & Temple Tour brings you on a religious journey to explore all of Penang’s heritage temples.

They include the Khoo Kongsi, a grand clan temple built in 1898, the Kuan Yin Temple built in 1800 by early Chinese immigrants, the Kek Lok Si temple near Ayer Hitam, which has scenic gardens and ponds with turtles. Then, head to a temple where a large statue of a reclining Buddha resides, one of the largest in the world. Once a year, during the Lunar New Year, the famous Kek Lok Si is fully lighted with thousand lights.

The next is Snake Temple in Bayan Lepas, which houses an exhibition area dedicated to slithery creatures.

The tour culminates in a fascinating trip up Penang Hill, the highest and coolest vantage point on the island.
