As I climbed the steps of Kek Lok Si Temple, I was immediately struck by its majestic presence. The intricate architecture and vibrant colors drew me in, regardless of my background. The sight of the towering statue of Kuan Yin and the tranquil ponds surrounded by lush greenery filled me with a sense of wonder and admiration. Walking through the temple's corridors, I couldn't help but marvel at the craftsmanship and the atmosphere of reverence that permeated the air. The scent of incense and the flickering of candles added to the ambiance, creating a serene environment for introspection and contemplation.

#2024wish
Kek Lok Si temple definitely has to be in our itinerary to Penang as it is one of Malaysia’s most striking religious sites. Furthermore, it’s also one of the biggest Buddhist complexes in Southeast Asia!
The thing that amazed me the most is the Kuan Yin statue, a 36.5 meter-high bronze goddess. That is certainly a sight to behold. It is sheltered by a huge Chinese-styled roof supported by 16 pillars. Kek Lok Si temple is also popular spot to take photographs in Penang with its stunning statues and views!
In 2024, I wish to visit Fushimi Inari Taisha ⛩️in Kyoto, Japan!
