Penang- See the Hainan Temple dedicated to the Seafarers

Posted 1 year ago by avatar eduardo in response to avatar hans's question: I'm working on a paper about Malaysian temples, can you tell something about the ones in Penang? (give a different answer) .

This temple I visited called Hainan Temple is dedicated to Mar Chor, the patron god of seafarers. It was recently restored in 1995, and you can see clearly the distinctive swirling dragon pillars and the ornate carvings. The temple is located in Lebuh Muntri area, and the admission is by donation.
