点评:Kek Lok Si temple is an amazing construction on several levels with extensive views over Penang.
We went by taxi which is probably the easiest way to get there - it’s possible to take a taxi to different levels. If you’re very fit and energetic, it’s possible to walk from the bottom to the top but, by far the easiest way is to take a series of chain like railways for which there is a small cost to each level. Be prepared to be shouted at if you dare to wait in the wrong place! The staff were very rude! The other thing to avoid are the tatty “gift “ shops although they do sell cold drinks.
It’s best to visit as early as possible to avoid the heat and the crowds particularly from tour groups. The architecture is stunning and worth looking at in detail at all levels. Again if you’re very fit are fit enough you can climb the 200 or so steps to the top of the pagoda.
There are seats available in the shade and some beautiful small gardens.
Take your time, have fully charged camera or phone batteries and wear comfortable footwear. It really is worth the effort despite the staff!

我们乘坐出租车前往,这可能是最便捷的方式——出租车可以直达不同楼层。如果您体力充沛,也可以从底部步行到顶部,但最轻松的方式是乘坐类似链条的轨道,每层都需要支付少量费用。如果您在错误的地方等候,可能会被工作人员大声呵斥!工作人员态度非常恶劣!另外,还要避开那些破旧的“礼品”店,尽管它们确实出售冷饮。
最好尽早前往,以避开炎热的天气和拥挤的人群,尤其是旅行团。寺庙的建筑令人叹为观止,值得仔细欣赏每一层的细节。如果您体力充沛,还可以攀登大约200级台阶到达塔顶。
寺庙内设有阴凉处的座椅和一些美丽的小花园。
慢慢来,确保相机或手机电池充满电,并穿舒适的鞋子。尽管工作人员可能不太友好,但这次旅行真的非常值得!
