The Pagoda-Temple Fusion of Penang Burmese Temple

Nestled within the bustling residential area of Penang city in Malaysia, lies the unique Burmese-style Buddhist temple of Penang. It's a lesser-known and modest place, yet it is one of the most popular temples in Penang for worshippers. 🏮Main Attractions: 1️⃣. Pagoda-Temple Fusion. The entire temple is built in a pagoda style, with a golden exterior that shines brilliantly and solemnly under the sunlight, making every casual photo look majestic and grand. Inside the temple, there is a huge standing Buddha statue, which is different from other temples as photography is allowed. 2️⃣. Temple Oil Paintings. The temple features thirty oil paintings by thirty artists, depicting the human conditions of birth, aging, sickness, and death, illustrating the journey of life. Behind the Burmese Temple, there is a globe guarded by two divine dragons. If you touch the globe and wish to go somewhere on Earth, it might just come true. 🎟Admission: Free. 🚏Address: Located in the residential area on Burma Road in the northwest center of Penang city, it's a bit hard to find. Public transportation is not convenient, so it is recommended to hire a car or drive there. 👉Nearby Attractions: The Penang Thai Temple with its Reclining Buddha and the Burmese Temple are only separated by a small road. It's convenient to visit the Reclining Buddha Temple first and then cross the street to see the Burmese Temple. This area is also about 1 kilometer away from Penang's most famous night market - the New Gurney Drive Night Market, where you can indulge in all kinds of Malaysian delicacies in one go.
