点评:This is the famous snake temple of Penang, which according to the history provided, a monk who does miraculous healing gave shelter to the snakes. When the temple was constructed in his honor, snakes started to come on their own thus giving the temple its name.
However, the snakes on the trees are not real, the same dummies on the trees can be seen hung indoor. A gimmick by the temple but also probably for the safety of the guests visiting.
Pros of visiting the place:
1) Visited on a Friday afternoon: not crowded
2) Near a branch of OO White coffee
3) Souvenir stores lined the entrance of the temple
4) no admission fee
Con’s:
1) steep price for taking pictures with snake
2) Cleanliness of the toilets not desirable with many big spiderwebs and spiders
Tip:
Location: near Airport (7-12mins by Grab), far from Georgetown (about 45mins - an hour drive)
If there is a bit of time before catching a flight, can stop over for a visit and eat at OO White Coffee. The temple takes about 5-10mins to walk around
翻译:这是槟城著名的蛇庙,根据历史记载,一位行医神迹的僧人曾为蛇提供庇护。当这座寺庙为纪念他而建时,蛇开始自己上门,因此得名。
然而,树上的蛇并不是真的,室内也挂着同样的假蛇。这是寺庙的噱头,但也可能是为了游客的安全。
参观该地的优点:
1)周五下午参观:人不多
2)靠近 OO White coffee 分店
3)寺庙入口处有纪念品商店
4)免门票
缺点:
1)与蛇合影价格昂贵
2)厕所清洁度不佳,有很多大蜘蛛网和蜘蛛
提示:
位置:靠近机场(乘坐 Grab 7-12 分钟),距离乔治城较远(约 45 分钟 - 一小时车程)
如果在赶飞机前还有一点时间,可以停下来参观并在 OO White Coffee 吃点东西。步行游览寺庙大约需要 5-10 分钟
