Penang Trip Day 2: Kek Lok Si Temple

Tue, 29 Dec 09

We also visited Kek Lok Si Temple as it was nearby Penang Hill....

Actually, we went to Penang Hill first, but all the tickets were sold out until the 5.30pm ride.... so we bought the tickets, then went to Kek Lok Si as it was only 2.30pm then...

On the incline lift to the gigantic Goddess of Mercy statue.....

On the top.... posing with our Chinese zodiac animal....


The gigantic Goddess of Mercy statue....

What we see of Penang from the top.....


There's a koi pond there with a beautiful pavilion......

See all the koi swimming around in a circle..... Daddy said it was because they were being fed....

Penang Trip Day 2: Penang Hill

Tue, 29 Dec 09

We headed to Penang Hill to take the railway....
In year 2008, when Mummy & Daddy were there, the railway was under maintenance.... Mummy read a notice there stating that it will be under maintenance starting from Feb 2010 again... We are lucky that it is in operation now... hehe... :)

Breathtaking views from the top.......

We found this quaint little restaurant, David Brown's restaurant (on top of strawberry hill) which has a very English country feel.........

As we were there past the tea time, there are no scones to be served... so disappointing.... Nevertheless, we had some drinks there, Mummy shared her ice chocolate with me... yummy...
