Attraction Address: Penang Hill, Penang Hill Forest Park, Kek Lok Si Temple

📍Attraction Address: Penang Hill, Penang Hill Forest Park, Kek Lok Si Temple 🚗Transportation: Take a Grab directly from your hotel to the Penang Hill ticket office. Taxis are inexpensive in Malaysia, other modes of transportation are not very convenient. 👍️Must-see attractions: There are many places worth visiting in Penang. This time, we went to Penang Hill and Kek Lok Si Temple. These two attractions are next to each other. We walked from Penang Hill to Kek Lok Si Temple. Although it's not far, it was hot and tiring. We recommend taking a taxi. 🎟️Tickets: Penang Hill tickets cost MYR 30 per person. Penang Hill Forest Park tickets cost MYR 60 per person. Kek Lok Si Temple is free, but there's a MYR 2 fee to enter the pagoda. 💗Other tips: It is recommended to visit Penang Hill in the morning, as it's cooler and less crowded. The funicular train takes about ten minutes to reach the top of the hill, and it's a twenty-minute walk to the forest park. The forest park has a sky bridge, where you can see squirrels and monkeys. There's also a sky viewing platform at the highest point. Along the way, you'll be surrounded by tropical rainforest scenery, allowing you to get up close and personal with nature. Construction of Kek Lok Si Temple began during the Qing Dynasty, and it has undergone several expansions to reach its current size. The main hall inside is resplendent. You can donate tiles for temple renovations; the amount is up to you. There's a small supermarket inside Kek Lok Si Temple where you can buy cold drinks. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated in the heat.
