Malaysia: Penang – Kek Lol Si Temple

Kek Lok Si Temple situated in the heart of the Penang island is a huge religious complex and the largest temple in Malaysia. The entire complex of temples was built over a period from 1890 to 1930, with several pagoda and temple halls. You need hours to explore all the halls, carved interior, golden Buddha statues in hundreds, panoramic views, and all the staircases. But the main attraction is definitely the Kek Lok Si pagoda, which you can climb to the top. Interestingly, the pagoda was built in three architectural styles – the bottom is in a Chinese style, the center is Thai, and the top is Burmese.
