Kek Lok Si Temple is a place where you can experience true calmness and spiritual connection. Located in the heart of Penang, this temple stands as a beautiful reminder of Malaysia’s rich cultural and spiritual heritage.
Malaysia is full of amazing places to visit, from the lively streets of Kuala Lumpur and the lush rainforests of Sarawak to the peaceful beaches of Langkawi and the historic charm of George Town. Many Malaysia tour packages include these highlights, but a visit to Kek Lok Si Temple in Penang offers a special experience where devotion and history come together. Come with me on a spiritual journey through Kek Lok Si Temple in Penang and make memories you won’t forget.
It features the impressive seven-story Ten Thousand Buddhas Pagoda, commissioned by the late Thai king Rama VI. It showcases 10,000 alabaster and bronze Buddha statues along with a towering 36.57-meter (120 ft) bronze statue of Guanyin (Kuan Yin), the Goddess of Mercy.
The temple harmoniously integrates Mahāyāna Buddhism, Theravāda Buddhism, and traditional Chinese rituals, reflecting its name, Kek Lok Si, which translates to “Sukhāvatī Temple” or “Temple of Supreme Joy,” denoting a paradise or pure land.
