- Kek Lok Si Temple - Situated on hillside terraces overlooking Air Itam, Malaysia’s largest Buddhist temple is a visual marvel. Constructed between 1890 and 1905, Kek Lok Si is a cornerstone of the Malay-Chinese community, which funded its two-decade-long construction and ongoing additions. Key features include the seven-tier Thousand-Buddha Pagoda and an impressive 36.5-meter-high bronze statue of the Goddess of Mercy.
To reach the temple’s main entrance, visitors must navigate through souvenir stalls along the uphill path and pass a pond filled with turtles. Although there are many stairs, the final ascent to the statue of the Goddess of Mercy is accessible via a funicular.
