Kek Lok Si Temple is famous for being the largest Buddhist temple in Southeast Asia, featuring the towering 36-meter Kuan Yin statue and the Pagoda of Ten Thousand Buddhas.
The temple is located in Air Itam, Penang. You can take a taxi, bus, or drive from George Town, which is about 8 km away.
Yes, but be respectful of religious practices and areas where photography might be restricted.
While it's open year-round, visiting during the Chinese New Year offers a particularly vibrant experience.
Entrance to the main temple grounds is free, but there is a small fee for visiting the pagoda and using the inclined lift to reach the Kuan Yin statue.
