Jalan Masjid Kapitan Keling, Penang, Malaysia
Tel: +60 4 261 6663 (Penang Tourist Centre)
Description:
Also called Pitt Street Temple, it was founded in 1801 on East India Company land by Chinese immigrant settlers, the temple looms over visitors with its prominent red roof, snarling dragons and lions. It bristles with endless activity all year round and the air is perpetually permeated with sandalwood incense, burnt joss sticks and smog from nearby traffic.
