KuanYin statue at Kek Lok Si temple (极乐寺) Penang @ 19th Feb 2010

Finally went to Kek Lok Si temple for the 2nd round this year during Chinese New Year, this round with WH. Felicia couldn't make it in the end so there's only 2 of us.

the highlight of this year is of cos the Kuan Yin statue... there's a enormous roof covering her this year which is held by a few giant pillars.

There are the usual nice seas of lanterns hanging here and there, each donated by someone which will see their name written on the piece of paper below the lantern. a nice atmosphere it is to see these yellow and orangy lanterns.

We took cable car onto the top where the statue is located, there's a lot of people, we had to queue up in a long queue and a packed cable car ride, but it was worth it... to witness the magnificent statue :-

A photography trick.. hahaha...spinning lights... ^^

At the back of the statue written there, built by China Aeropspace Engineering Corp. Nicely done..
