• Reclining Buddha Wat Chaiyamangalaram - The tour guide will collect guests around 9am from the hotel lobby and head to Wat Chayamangkalaram, situated in George Town. Locally known as the Sleeping Buddha, the Reclining Buddha Temple features numerous niches behind the statue, housing the ashes of devotees. A small Thai village and cemetery are located just behind the temple. Visitors will have time to admire the temple’s beauty and serene atmosphere before moving on to the Dhammikarama Burmese Buddhist Temple.
• Dhammikarama Burmese Temple - Established in 1805, the Dhammikarama Burmese Buddhist Temple is Penang’s first Buddhist temple. The walkways are adorned with panel paintings depicting the life of the Buddha, with characters in traditional Burmese attire. Inside, serene Burmese Buddha statues with round eyes gaze at worshippers.
• Penang Botanical Gardens - The next stop is the Penang Botanical Garden, also known as the Waterfall Gardens due to the nearby cascading waterfall. Both visitors and locals frequent the garden to escape the city’s heat, enjoying leisurely walks or relaxing in the peaceful surroundings.
• Penang Hill - After lunch, the tour continues to Penang Hill. Upon arrival, guests will take a funicular train to the hilltop for a panoramic view of Penang Island. The Habitat, located next to the Hindu temple, offers breathtaking views and is highly recommended. After descending, a visit to Ayer Itam Market provides a glimpse into local life and an opportunity to purchase souvenirs. If time allows, guests can try the famous Penang Assam Laksa at a hawker stall (at their own expense).
• Kek Lok Si Temple - The tour then proceeds to Kek Lok Si Temple, where visitors can see the 36.5-meter-high bronze statue of Kuan Yin (Guanyin), the Goddess of Mercy. After exploring the Kuan Yin statue, guests can walk down to the pagoda, officially known as Bon Po Thar. The Kek Lok Si Pagoda is a marvel of architecture, with a Chinese-style base, Thai middle section, and Burmese top. Visitors can take stunning photos and enjoy the tranquil atmosphere and cool breeze before descending.
