Penang Island; The largest Buddhist temple in Malaysia; Zulfikar Jafar

The first time I traveled to Malaysia was in 2006 with my family; I don't know why everything here was a dream for me at that time, and maybe it was because of my young age, because in the trip I went to Malaysia for the second time in 2016 and visited exactly the old places, it was not enjoyable at all.

The route to Malaysia

But this time to go to Malaysia, I entered by land through Thailand, a long journey from Phuket, Thailand to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It was a 12-hour route that was really annoying and I don't recommend it at all. I took this route in travel vans where there was no place to move and the whole route was on uneven roads.

Malaysia visa

For those who have never traveled to Malaysia, I must say that Iranians do not require a visa to travel to Malaysia, and this country gives you a 14-day deadline to visit the country, and this is a one-time entry permit.

Penang

My first destination in Malaysia was the island and city of Penang. Penang itself is divided into two parts, the city and the island, each of which has its own attractions.

If you love graffiti, this island is the best place to travel. The whole city is filled with different graffiti, from the Pokemon game to a picture of Bruce Lee and many other characters another famous

Kek Lok Si temple

Kek Lok Si is the largest Buddhist temple in Malaysia located in Penang Island in Malaysia and is also an important pilgrimage center for Buddhists from Hong Kong, the Philippines, Singapore and other Southeast Asian countries.

Kek Lok Si means "Temple of Sukhavati". In Hokkien (a language in southern China), the word kek-lok literally means "absolute happiness", which is a translation of the word Sukhavati, which means heaven. Si means temple.
