#hiddengems One of the largest temples in Butterworth, The Tow Boo Kong temple is dedicated to the Nine Emperor Gods and Mazu, the goddess of the sea. While tourist usually visit temples on the Penang Island, this temple located at Butterworth should not be missed. Do not be fooled by the humble frontage of the temple. The temple complex is big and the carvings on the pillars and walls are intricate. Beautiful murals flank both sides of the walls and there's a hug dragon sculpture within the temple. We understand that at night, lanterns fill the temple, making it a magical place. #temple #penang
