Kek Lok Si Temple, Penang
槟城极乐寺 
...

The temple of supreme bliss that sits majestically 
at the hills of Ayer Item, Penang
is perhaps one of the remarkable gifts 
that Penang possesses today.
 ...

Founded more than 100 years ago by
benevolence Beow Lean, a devout Buddhist
from Fujian province, the temple was once
given the name of "Huock San" (Crane hill)
due to the hills resemblance of crane
spreading its wings.

Let us hope that the current development of its surrounding
complements its beauty rather then destroys it
