妙香林寺 Beow Hiang Lim Temple

The Beow Hiang Lim Temple, or 妙香林寺, is a serene Buddhist temple located on the slopes of Penang Hill. Its name can be translated as "Temple of the Fragrant Woods." The temple is known for its peaceful atmosphere and its beautiful natural surroundings, nestled amidst the lush greenery of the hill's rainforest. It provides a spiritual sanctuary for those seeking a quiet place for prayer and contemplation, away from the more crowded areas of the summit. The journey to the temple itself can be a pleasant walk or hike along the hill's paths. It is one of the several religious sites on Penang Hill that reflect the spiritual diversity of the island.
