Majestic Half-Day Penang Hill and Kek Lok Si Temple Tour Discount Tickets

Overview

Two of Penang's most iconic landmarks await on this half-day private tour, combining one of Southeast Asia's grandest Buddhist temples with sweeping hilltop views over the island and the Malaysian Peninsula. Begin at Kek Lok Si Temple in the village of Air Itam, a breathtaking complex blending Burmese, Chinese, and Thai architecture. The seven-tiered pagoda, known as the Pagoda of the 10,000 Buddha Images and dating to the reign of Thai King Rama VI, houses 10,000 alabaster and bronze statues. A chairlift ride to the 30-metre bronze statue of Kuan Yin, Goddess of Mercy, is included. The panoramic views from the hilltop are remarkable. The tour continues to Penang Hill, where an express funicular train glides up to a former British hill station with sweeping views across Georgetown and the peninsula beyond.
