For people who enjoy Buddhist temples and their spiritual meaning. This is the place to be. The tip I would advise is to go in the morning to enjoy the temple before the sun is at its highest. You would need about 3 hours to appreciate the temple fully—a must-visit for all.

We hired a driver who drove us all the way up to the new wing where a 30m bronze statue of the Guan Yin under a pavilion stands. As the temple is on a hill, you get to see Air Hitam town and the surroundings (better view than Penang Hill summit which was shrouded in cloud). We came because it is a stone throw from Penang Hill funicular station and also a major tourist attraction.

A splendid time well spend going back to ancient Chinese history visited the Goddess Of Mercy with many Gods. Architecture are well maintained even though is quiet old; a time of relaxation and time of well spend with family bringing them around mesmerising the scenery and moments together. 💞💞

This place is amazing and definitely worth a visit. How this was built in 1891 I’ll never know. Its stands high above Penang with fantastic views. There are plenty of steps which can be an issue if you’re not too mobile, especially in 35 degree heat. There are a couple of inclined lifts which can help. You do need to take one up to the top to see the 30m high Buddha. Highly recommended

Amazing Buddhist temple, full of fantastic buildings, gardens, statues, paintings etc. Amazing experience to walk through it all, ascend the pagoda to the top and take the lift up to see the giant statue. Lots of steps so not practical for anyone with mobility issues. Considering this was built in 1891 it is an amazing complex.

Malaysia's largest Buddhist site can easily impress non-worshipers. The vast, hillside sanctuary is in different levels and tourists can easily climb uphill with the mixed use of lift and golf cart (16 MYR round trip). The encompassing statue of Kuan Yin at the top is awe-inspiring. The blend of different denominations and architectural styles is religiously and aesthetically satisfying. A ride from downtown takes around thirty minutes and costs around 20 MYR.

Really nice temple to visit with a beautiful buddha statue on the top! You have to pay a ticket to take the lift to go on top. Before reaching the temple, there is a lake full of turtoises, you can feed them with vegetables from a guy sitting next to the lake.

Very nice large temple that you need at least 2 hours to walk leisurely around Plenty of gift shops in the grounds selling all kinds of souvenirs for the tourist and the religious, there is no hard sell though and the prices are very reasonable so take your time and browse. The temple contains many images of Buddha as well as carvings, sculptures and murals in the temple halls and Pagodas. Small charge of 2 ringgits per person to visit main temple and 6 ringgits per person for the return fare on the funicular train up to the god of mercy. Very interesting place, relax and explore

Went for the CNY lighting on the eve. Got there around 630 which gave us enough time to use the lifts to get to the top. The lifts were very cramped, hot, and wait was long. Although I paid for the round trip it was just easier to walk down and get the ride by the hotel.

We took a grab taxi to visit this place. You can spend 1-2 hours looking at this place, Respect it as place of worship. You can also sit and meditate if you are interested. The tall statue will put you in awe, I enjoyed the place a lot for its architecture, history and positive energy
