3.1. Snake temple bayan lepas pulau pinang 1805 The temple is a fine architectural art. In the early years, it was a simple roof structure, a traditional lifestyle found in the rural villages of Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. But after decades and some major renovations, it grew into a beautiful structure, with details on the doors and beams of the roof. The main temple opens to the grounds, on the site of Kuan Yin Temple, so visitors are amazed at the beautiful plants that occupy the garden. Follow the path and you will come to a ‘pool’, where snakes are in the trees among the green leaf branches, either in the sun or in the shade.
