When visiting Penang treat yourself to the best views of the largest Buddhist temple in South East Asia; Kek Lok Si Temple. Don’t worry you won’t have to walk up the hill. A tram car will take you to the top. A day spent visiting Penang Hill and Kek Lok Si Temple is a great day trip for the budget traveler. A bus from downtown and the tram ride will set you a back a couple of dollars. Entrance to the temple is free.

I can’t imagine how many different angles and views I’d like to shoot of such a photogenic place. Fabulous!
Wow! This temple is spectacular. I’m dying to go to Southeast Asia someday (soon)!
Cool shot and a humongous temple, if I ever saw one!
Wow. Looks incredible. Lovely shot.
I loved this temple. We went during Chinese New Year and it was all lit up with thousands of lanterns. Beautiful. How did you get this aerial shot?
I can only imagine how beautiful it would have been all lit up. I took this shot from the top of Penang Hill.
Excellent shot! This is an amazing building.
Beautiful! Was this taken from a plane?
Adrian………….No, was taken from the top of Penang Hill.
Oh, I love how the bright (not-found-in-nature) orange contrasts with the colors on that hill!
Wow, that’s a great shot!!
Beautiful temple. It looks amazing! The color is wonderful.I am imagining of shaolin masters in the temple.
Wow! I had never heard of this temple until now. It’s beautiful, and I love that you captured a view from above.
