Many of Penang’s famous temples are of Chinese origin, as there is a large Chinese community on the island. One of the most prominent is the Temple of the Goddess of Mercy with its intricately carved dragons and stone lions; another is the Sam Poh Footprint Temple which venerates the footprint of Admiral Zheng He. Amongst the Hindu temples a prominent place goes to the Sri Mariamman Temple which features captivating sculptures of the venerated gods and goddesses.
