There are 2 things not to be missed at Ayer Itam. First is the famous Ayer Itam Laksa. The second would be a visit to Kek Lok Si Temple (极乐寺).
View of the temple from the carpark down the hill. |
Some goods sold along the climb. |
The tiring walk was worth it when these cute little turtles dashed in front of you for food. |
Stunning! |
Lanterns with auspicious greetings along the balcony |
Carvings on the Rock |
Only knew that car can be driven up here when we climbed this far. |
Some statues in the temple |
Nice wood carvings! |
This wasn't the end of it. We took the inclined lift to the Kuan Yin Temple and it costed RM4/person for return trip.
The lift has air con! Cool! |
Upon arrival, we realized that some people also drove up there, but I do not think that's a good way. The hill is too steep and tyres could get worn off easily. |
All the 12 Chinese Zodiacs |
Posing with our Zodiacs! |
Minnie Mouse?? |
You have turtles to feed down there, up here you have Koi fish. |
Sun Wu Kong (孙悟空) / Monkey God |
The huge Kuan Yin that could be seen from far on the way to Ayer Itam. |
Nice view of Penang Island |
It was really hot! But because of this weather, I could take good photos! :P
