Bayan Lepas, a town on Malaysia’s Penang Island, was founded in the 19th century and is home to several well-known tourist attractions. It is also a popular industrial hub where many multinational companies have their factories. This part of Malaysia welcomes both kinds of people, those who are traveling for work and for tourism. One of the most interesting tourist attractions here is the Snake Temple. It is a 19th-century Chinese temple that shelters pit vipers. Chinese New Year celebrations are also held here with a unique flame-watching ceremony that is believed to foretell what’s in store for the upcoming year.
