Temples and viewpoints

We had planned to go to Penang Hill today but as we were leaving our hotel the lady at reception told us about a Chinese temple a 15 minute walk away that was well worth a visit so we hopped on a local bus out of town and arrived just outside the Temple and omg it was huge! And completely free!
We wandered around the temple admiring the detail which was everywhere we looked and we rode the funicular to the very top which revealed amazing views of the city and a huge statue.

Once we had taken it all in we headed over to Penang Hill and I have to say I was a little disappointed, after paying RM30 each to get to the top of the hill it felt like you had to pay to get a decent view of the city even though you have just paid to get up there.
All the free Bench's you could sit on the views weren't great and the ones that had the best view you had to pay for so we had a walk around and came back down.

After racking up lots of steps today we treated ourselves to a pudding at a desserts restaurant and we were not disappointed 👍Read more
