Thank You

A Burmese Temple complex, just across the road from the Thai Temple complex, so the two can be seen one after the other, provided you are not 'templed out.'

A splendid collection of Burmese Temple buildings set out in a garden area with water areas. Very photogenic.

Very beautiful place both historical and religious. Clean and well kept on. It is close other religious temples I recommend visiting as well.

The temple is organised into a few sections. Main praying hall with a giantic buddha statue. Deeper in, there is also a bell tower and a pond with koi fish.

A monk will also avail himself if you require a prayer service.

You can also hang notes onto a money tree.

I loved the atmosphere here. I have never been to Myanmar before but visiting this temple made me want to someday. I loved that I could feel the history from the well that was being used long time ago, and I also loved that ancient Buddhas from all other Asian countries including Japan are there. Such a beautiful place to visit. They have benches under the roof so if you are tired you can take some rest too.

Great place to go with family
The place is huge with pond at the back. Very beautiful temple

Beautiful Burmese temple that shows a variety of Buddha statues from different parts of Asia, as well as the life history of Siddharta Gautama Buddha. Exquisite wood carvings as well on the ceiling.

One of the must visit places in Penang. The place is very quiet and tranquil and separate buildings for separate purposes. In the main building behind the sitting Buddha statue a series of Buddha statues are there representing faces and appearances of the Buddha from different Asian countries, like Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Malaysia, Nepal, Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka.

A lovely beautiful Buddhist temple involve around Burmese culture. There got pagoda, fish pond, and story of Gautama become the Buddha. Its a free entry.

What a fantastic and beautiful temple! We were so impressed!
So many different things to see & admire.
The globe, the statues, the vibe… all really wow! You have to see this temple!
Across the street is another temple. Also great.

Last visit was 13+ years ago. This temple is much more beautiful than the Thai temple and bigger? Spend more than an hr walking through the various buildings in this site.
If you missed the Thai temple after 4pm you can come over to visit till 5.30pm.
If have time should walk up the pagoda at the back of the main temple.

Very calming to stop by, especially on weekend when the Thai temple across the street is packed. Beautiful architecture and the way they incorporated a park in the premises is amazing. Don't forget to stop by the Sasana Vamsa Sima Shrine next door to see the Standing Buddha.

Amazing place, very peaceful, with Burmese Monks, donate to Sangha through Monk is the best way when we come in this place. See the beauty of this ancient temple and see the beauty of our soul too by doing donation

Nice Temple. Very good place to visit.

An absolutely beautiful temple. I was amazed at how reverently everything had been set with Buddha in the main hall and all his disciples in various other buildings.

Worth a walk around to read some pictures in the walkway leading to the main hall, where there are stories of Buddha and how his teachings were spread by others.

A Therawada Budhist temple. Very calm and peaceful place. Beautiful and colourful architecture. Came here to offer food danna to the Monks. Food danna is at 11am. Close at 2pm during the pandemic period.

One of Penang beautiful and historic Burmese temple. The temple building is so unit and special. Recommend to visit when visit Penang.

Buddhist temple with Burmese (Myanmar) architecture. Famous for its Phra Upakhut that brings wealth & fortune to his followers

Buddhist Temple with another style of Buddha. Has gift shop and nice coffee shop. Must visit opposite Thai Buddhist temple nice comparision

A very peaceful ambience. And a very hot sunny day. I saw the stupa which are dedicated to the temple's chief monk. It is the oldest structure of the temple. The is a mural depicting Buddha's Renunciation where he was riding his mount crossing Anoma River and was cheered by Devas and dissuaded by Maras. Upon crossing, with great determination, he discarded his princely attire and cut his hair in exchange for ascetic robe and an alms bowl. Another important feature is the two chimeras, known as Panca Rupa, the guardian protectors of the world which is rarely seen elsewhere. All wood craving designs belong to distinctive Myanmar tradition as well as the building. Entrance free. Donations welcome.
