Kek Lok Si Temple

#penangspots

Kek Lok Si is a sprawling temple complex that feels like a kingdom of peace sitting on a hillside. The giant bronze statue of the Goddess of Mercy watches over it all like a silent sentinel. Climbing the steps between prayer halls, pagodas, and turtle ponds, you get the sense this place was built for endurance — and reverence. When the lanterns come on at night, the whole temple glows like a beacon. It’s one of those places where strength meets serenity.
