The Kek Lok Si Temple is a Buddhist temple situated in Air Itam, Penang, Malaysia. It is the largest Buddhist temple in Malaysia,[1] and is also an important pilgrimage centre for Buddhists from Hong Kong, the Philippines, Singapore and other countries in Southeast Asia. The entire complex of temples was built over a period from 1890–1930, an inspirational initiative of Beow Lean, the Abbot. The main draw in the complex is the striking seven-storey Pagoda of Rama VI (Pagoda of Ten Thousand Buddhas) with 10,000 alabaster and bronze statues of Buddha, and the 36.57 metres (120.0 ft) tall bronze statue of Kuan Yin, the Goddess of Mercy.

Schöner buddhistischer Tempel mit mehreren Ebenen, die man alle einzeln anfahren kann. Glanzlichter sind die große Pagode und die Bronzestatue der Göttin Guan Yin (ganz oben). Zu Letzterer kann auch direkt vorfahren oder mit einer weiteren Standseilbahn. Im Grunde kann man die komplette Tempelanlage hoch- und runterlaufen. Die zuweilen lauten Souvenirläden gehören eben dazu.
