The Guardians of Kek Lok Si

#penangspots

It’s not just the big structures that make Kek Lok Si special—the small details are everywhere. From a cute bear statue carved into stone railings to the majestic stone fish perched near the bridge, these little ‘guardians’ add so much charm.

I found myself taking more close-up shots than expected because each carving has personality. If you visit, don’t rush past—take the time to spot these hidden characters scattered around the temple grounds.
