Full description
Your tour begins with pickup from your hotel at Georgetown on time. Meet and greet your friendly driver at the hotel lobby and proceed for your tour. Your driver will pick you up from your respective hotel then you will head out to visit Wat Chayamangkalaram Temple, Dhammikarama Burmese Temple, and the streets of George Town - a UNESCO World Heritage Site. After that, you will visit Kek Lok Si Temple. Built in 1891 as a small shrine, it has since expanded to become one of the most majestic and largest temples in South-East Asia. Since its founding in 1930, the “Pagoda of Ten Thousand Buddhas” is considered one of Penang’s most beautiful architectural wonders as it is able to incorporate 3 cultures into one structure – with its Chinese octagonal base, Thai middle tier, and Burmese Crown. A 30.2m Guan Yin (Goddess of Mercy) bronze statue was erected in 2002 on the highest point of the temple. It can be reached via an Inclined lift at the middle. On the way, you will stop for some free sampling of Penang’s famous White Coffee/Tea at Coffee Tree.

This tour was absolutely incredible! It started by going to Penang Hill, where there was gorgeous views, some stunning structures, and amazing food. This was followed by a visit to the Kek Lok Si temple which was jaw dropping. My amazing guide than took me to a Thai temple, with a Burmese temple right across the road. Those temples were absolutely beautiful and I am so glad I got to see them. All of these locations are a must see. The day was made even better by my guide, Ronni Rajit, who always answered my questions, provided some interesting commentary and even showed me around a bit in George Town + recommend places for me to go on my own.

Ron, mein Fahrer und Guide, verdanke ich eine lehr- und abwechslungsreiche Halbtags-Tour durch Penang. Höhepunkte waren Penang Hill und der Tempelkomplex Kek Lok Si. Ich war nur anderthalb Tage auf Penang Island, so dass diese Tour die optimale Gelegenheit war, um einen ausgeglichenen Eindruck von Georgetown und Umgebung zu gewinnen.

Der Fahrer/Guide war pünktlich im Hotel, vorher hatte es, anders als bei anderen Touren, allerdings keine Kontaktaufnahme gegeben. Obwohl das 11. Mal auf Penang, so haben wir doch eine ganze Reihe neuer Eindrücke gewonnen. Kek Lok Si war eher nervig, man rennt durch zu viele Souvenirläden, die Fahrt durch die Altstadt mit den vielen Kolonialbauten war sehr schön. Wir hatten immer ausreichend Zeit für Besichtigungen, es würde auch Viel erklärt.
