PENANG --------------------| Places of Interest

Goddess Of Mercy Temple, Jalan Kapitan Keling
One of the oldest Chinese temples in penang, the Kuan Yin Teng or the Goddess of Mercy Temple was built in 1800 by early immigrant settlers from China. The building is decorated with intricately crafted dragons and stone sculptured lions which are said to be its guardians. Devotees flock to the temple all year round especially during the three anniversaries of Kuan Yin which are on the 19th day of the second, sixth and ninth lunar months.

Sri Mariamman Temple, Lebuh Queen
Built in 1883, this Hindu temple features fascinating sculptures of gods and goddesses over its main entrance and on its façade.

Khoo Kongsi, Lebuh Cannon

Construction began around 1853 but was interrupted until it was finally completed in 1898. The building was so magnificent that on its completion, the roof caught fire because of its resemblance, some believe, to the Emperor’s palace in china. The building features a magnificent hall embellished with intricate carvings and richly ornamented beams of the finest wood bearing the mark of master craftsmen from China. Opening hours:9.00am to 5.00pm-Mondays to Fridays 9.00am to 1.00pm-Saturdays.
