Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car, start from your location in the Southern Region and make your way to the North-South Expressway (E1). Follow signs for Penang. Once you cross the Penang Bridge, continue straight until you reach the exit for Air Itam. Follow the signs to Air Itam and turn onto Jln Balik Pulau. The Kek Lok Si Temple will be on your left. There is parking available near the temple but be prepared for a small fee, typically around RM5.

• Public Transportation (Bus)

  For those using public transportation, take a bus from your location to the Butterworth Bus Terminal. From Butterworth, catch a bus to Penang Island. Once you arrive at the Penang bus terminal, take bus number 201 or 203 towards Air Itam. Get off the bus at the Air Itam stop and follow the signs to Kek Lok Si Temple, which is about a 15-minute walk uphill. Be aware that the bus fare from Butterworth to Penang Island is approximately RM4, and the fare for the local bus is around RM2.

• Taxi or Ride-hailing Services

  If you prefer a more direct route, consider taking a taxi or using a ride-hailing service like Grab. Simply input 'Kek Lok Si Temple, Jln Balik Pulau, 11500 Air Itam, Penang' as your destination.
