Highlights of a Kek Lok Si Temple Visit

Tips for Visiting the Temple

Kek Lok Si Temple is one of the most popular religious sites in Penang. If you're visiting Penang and want to see something interesting, make a trip to this temple. Here are some tips for enjoying your visit.

First, consider the time of year you're visiting. The temple is busiest during Chinese New Year (February or March), but there's usually enough traffic to avoid long lines. For other times of the year, crowds are usually smaller.

Second, consider what you want to see at the temple. If you're just looking for an interesting place to visit, skip the tour and wander around on your own. But if you have time and want to see everything there is to see at the temple, consider taking one of the tours offered by many local tourist shops.

Third, be aware of your surroundings while at the temple. Many people mistakenly leave their phones and cameras unattended in order to take pictures of the temple's impressive architecture. This isn't recommended - theft is a problem at temples all over Asia, and it's not worth risking your possessions in the hope of getting a good picture.

Finally, don't forget to say "hello" to K
