A Buddhist monastery run by a group of Buddhist nuns located adjacent to the road leading to the Penang hill station in Air Itam Penang. Here the locals called the temple Biao Hiong Lim in Hokkien dialect. The main praying hall housed Lord Buddha and several deities. A couple of other buildings and the nuns living quarters plus the columbarium filled the compound. Overall this place is very clean and tidy, a good job done by the nuns in running a decently nice place of worship. The temple is shape and built according to Chinese cultural architecture with dragons and pagoda design structure. Not too far from the praying hall there's a place close to my heart, the remains of my parents are placed inside this columbarium. On a daily basis this place is keep nice and clean except during festive season like Cheng Beng, when there are lots of activities inside the dorm things can get pretty messy. The left over by visitors can be an eye-saw. My assessment on a general scale, I am giving it a good rating based on the overall quality of hygiene and good governance they practices. If you wanted some peace and a quiet surrounding to strengthen your inner peace, you shouldn't miss out this place, with a windy and soothing atmosphere will surely calm your inner peace. Never miss this place whenever I m back here, visiting my parents. Sadhu sadhu sadhu. Give me a Like if you find this article informative.

Columbarium not very well maintained but definitely an improvement over the last 10 years. They have banned open burning of paper offerings which make it more tolerable. However cleanliness of the interior of the columbarium is not up to par. The place is dusty and the inner rooms are poorly ventilated.
One of the Penang oldest temple and cemetery.
Temple with columbarium set in a serene garden with the soothing sound of Buddhist chantings n the scent of burning joss sticks wafting in the air. Here I am staring at pagoda tiers n spires as the cool morning breeze caresses my face n my eyes are fixed on the middle station n upper station of the Penang Hill railway line in the background. Sitting here in the shade, the temple is an oasis of calm with the faint sounds of passing traffic far in the background. Come Cheng Beng n Chinese New Year each year, the temple becomes a hive of activities with visitors from near n far. But for now, I find some peace here.
Both my parents are gonna be here
A place to escape from the busy city. They offer Buddha classes also
this is where all members of my family laid to rest.... definitely worth a visit!
This place is old BUT credit to the staff as they have maintained the place well, clean, neat and conducive for prayers. It's peaceful and good for the souls to rest there.
