Penang

FYI, many Medanese prefer to stay at Sunway Hotel in Penang. It does not matter whether they come here for travel or for a medical check-up. After having breakfast, we went to Wat Chaiya Mangalaram (The Reclining Buddha Temple) and the Burmese Buddhist Temple.

The next destination was Thai Pak Koong Temple Tanjong Tokong. Here is a brief story of the Hai Zhu Tua Pek Kong Temple on the board.

Zhang Li, Qiu Zhao-Jin and Ma Fu Chun were very close friends of Khek origin. In the Mid-Eighteen Centuries, they sailed to the South Sea and lived in Tanjong Hai-Zhu. After their death, they were buried at the high bank. Local people called them Tua Pek Koong. This is how Tanjong Tokong obtained its name. In 1799 (The end of Jia Qing's 4 years), the tombstones and new temple were built, it was managed by the five sections of Khek origin namely comprised of Hui Zhou, Jia-Ying, Da-Pu, Yong-Ding and Zeng-Long. A lot of devotees visited the place, thus promoting it as a tourist destination. On the 16th day second month of the Chinese calender, devotees will celebrate their birthday on a large scale.

After going to Thai Pak Koong Temple Tanjong Tokong, we went to the Toy Museum. It is located beside the Copthorne Orchid Hotel at Tanjung Bungah Road. The Toy Museum is the holder of 2 records listed in The Malaysia Book of Records. "It is a must-see destination on the island of Penang", was written in the advertisement.
