temple is decorated with lights and thousands of yellow and red lanterns. These lanterns
are donated by devotees.The lights and lanterns will be on for 15 nights beginning from the first day of the Chinese new year until the 15th day which is Chop Goh Meh. At this time , the temple will be open until 11 PM for the public. The temple was built in the year 1890 and was situated on the hill side of Air Itam, Penang. It was a magnificent view at night.
