Mt. Erskine Guan Yin Si 檳城白雲山觀音寺 — Local services in George Town

A temple located atop Mount Erskine (enter via Lebuhraya Halia) provides a serene & tranquil atmosphere perfect for reflection & prayer. The temple grounds are impeccably maintained & clean, creating a truly peaceful environment.

The road leading to the temple is steep & requires some effort if you choose to walk. For those who prefer to drive, be aware that parking can be limited though, especially during festive seasons.

A few flights of stairs lead to the main temple building, but thankfully, a mini funicular carriage is available for the elderly & those with disabilities. Washrooms available.

The friendly caretakers add to the welcoming atmosphere of this lovely temple.
