To get to this temple in Penang we have to travel up the funicular railway and take the cable car, and it is a steep and exciting ride that lasted around 5 minutes! We climbed 7 storeys to reach the highest point at the pagoda. The steps can be a little steep at some points but we still managed to conquer it 💪. The views at the top are really breathtaking, thus worthy of our time spent there!
