🇲🇾Malaysia / 🏝Penang Island / Gokurakuji Temple🛕

Gokurakuji Temple is located on Penang Island in Malaysia. The illumination during CNY (Chinese New Year) is a spectacular sight! *It may not be lit up outside of the CNY period. If anything, it has a more solemn feel during the day, and an amusement-like feel during the lit-up hours. There is little shade during the day and it is hot, but at night there is a lot of breeze and it is cool. How to get there: Use a ride-hailing app (Grab) or bus to get to the site, and walk or take the cable car to the top. #0yentravelFebruary2025
