Snake Temple Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The temple was built in 1850 in memory of a highly respected Buddhist elder, ChorSooKong. The master is said to have extraordinary healing skills. There are many poisonous snakes coiled around the altar and other parts of the temple in the temple. The incense burning in the temple made these snakes a little dizzy and not aggressive. The Snake Temple is also called Qinglong Temple. It is said that when the Buddha was born around 1795, the green snake entered the temple and stole the food offered by the pilgrims. The small ones are like earthworms, lying on shrines, incense tables, candlesticks, vases, beams and pillars, looking extremely terrifying. These green snakes are all poisonous snakes, but they lie still during the day, neither afraid of people nor harming people, and they never hurt people. It was only when the night was quiet that he put aside his gentle attitude and swept away the offerings. Believers say that the snake was influenced by the Buddha, but in fact, it has been nurtured by incense for a long time, becoming sluggish, and can only rely on food to survive, completely losing the ability to survive in the wild. The incense of the Snake Temple is always prosperous and tourists are in an endless stream, so it has become one of the top ten scenic spots in Malaysia. In the wing room next to the temple, there are local people holding a big python for people to take pictures.

amazing trip over to snake temple. Will recommand friend to go
Not bad, it is worth a visit. It is said that there has been no snake bite incident in the temple. The snakes are all free-range. If you are afraid, don't go. There is also a snake garden next to it. You can go and see it. It is charged separately, not very big. [Fun]
Probably best for prayersNot many snakes left in this temple; probably due to the urbanisation and development around the temple. Souvenir stalls overshadowed temple.
This temple is a temple with a strong incense in Malaysia.
特地跑到Bayan Lepas的蛇庙看蛇,这里蛇的数量明显比几年前mco之前少了很多,游客也减少了很多。希望槟城的旅游业能多多推广槟城的景点。
You can come and see, there are new discoveries. Great place.
very exciting to viait this snake temple in Penang, alot of snakes in the farm.
