#parksandgardens #penang #100waysoftravel Our visit to Kampung Agong was like stepping into a peaceful rural paradise. Surrounded by swaying coconut trees and lush paddy fields, this park perfectly captures the charm of traditional Malay village life. The sight of beautifully preserved Malay wooden houses amidst the greenery was both serene and nostalgic. 🚇 We drove to the park, enjoying the scenic countryside views along the way. 📷 The park is a photographer’s dream, with plenty of Instagram-worthy spots—whether it’s the iconic swing under the coconut trees or the traditional houses against the backdrop of the paddy fields. 🍜 After our adventure, we headed to Khunthai Restaurant in Butterworth for a delicious Thai meal, which was the perfect end to the day. 💡 Tips: Don’t forget to bring an umbrella for sun protection! The open fields can get quite hot, especially during midday.

It is dedicated to the worship of the Nine Emperor Gods, a prominent Taoist deity in Chinese folk religion. The temple's origins date back to the 19th century when it was established by early Chinese immigrants. Over the years, it has undergone renovations and expansions, becoming one of the largest and most prominent Taoist temples in Malaysia. Visitors to Tow Boo Kong Temple are greeted by its stunning architectural features, including intricate carvings, colorful decorations, and ornate roofs adorned with dragon motifs.
