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.
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。
This temple is a temple with a strong incense in Malaysia.
The snake temple is said to be the first snake-themed temple in the world. Very close to the airport and a little distance from the city. If the formation is relatively fast, it is not recommended to visit. After all, the attraction is very small, it is a temple, and the traffic is not convenient. The snake temple was not for pythons at the beginning, but the snake crawled in from the outside. Over time, the snake became a feature here. Later, in order to carry forward the characteristics of the snake temple, the snake temple artificially raised a lot of green snakes, these snakes are supplied by special snake farms. As soon as you enter the temple, you can see the green snakes hovering on the shelves, big and small, fat and thin, lounging and not moving. You don't need to worry about them at all, because they are almost still, really look like fake, only a careful observation can find their slight movements. To be honest, I am really a little nervous. After all, the first time I have such close contact with the snakes~ The snakes here are not locked in a cage, they are really disked in the air! For fear of falling! There is a tree behind the snake temple. Watch carefully and you can find that there are many green snakes hovering densely on it! The color of the snake skin is very close to the tree. I don't know if I don't look carefully. I look carefully... There are countless more. The snake temple also has a place for tourists and pythons to take pictures. It seems to be MYR 50. It is a pleasure to see a few foreigners taking pictures. There is no taboo in entering the deep temple. Most of the people who go now come from the name of the "snake". There are also people who really worship, but they ignore tourists. Just keep quiet in the snake temple. There is no ticket for the snake temple. It takes 10 minutes to visit.

Then the entrance of Love Lane raised the flag mountain and the Jile Temple. These two attractions are quite close but can't be reached on foot. You can take the bus 204 flag-raising mountain is a summer resort for foreigners many years ago, and it has now been developed into a tourist resort.
