Chinese Temples in
Penang Malaysia
Photo Gallery

With it's large Chinese community, there are plenty of Chinese Temples in Penang and Georgetown boasts the best and oldest temples on the Island. All the following temples are free to visit (at the moment) except Khoo Kongsi, but it really is worth the entrance fee with some of the best workmanship of any of the temples I have seen in Penang.
Believe me, I have visited probably too many temples on my travels and these days I rarely get impressed by any, but Khoo Kongsi Impressed! So if you only have a short time in Georgetown visit this one.

There are of course many more temples around the island but the following temples are among the best and most popular for tourists to visit while in Penang.
