Yes yes yes…
Everyone has been asking me, did you not stay at Lee Garden? No shopping at the
night market at Lee Garden? The kacang shop place, did you go? And the answer
is no no and no.
As you know (macam lah you all semua tahu kan), I kinda like to add nature ie park, zoo or any outdoorish place in my trip and this time around I visited the Kor Hong Mountain – a hang-out place for them locals. Few things that you can check-out here which is:
3. Golden Buddha : A locals place of worship, located right on top at the view point. And you walk down you will pass by another god statue as well as a temple.
The golden Buddha or Phra Phuttha Mongkhon Maharat was built in 1999 to commemorate the 72nd birthday of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej. Apparently (only got to know after I left Hat Yai) this place is connected by a cable-car.
Next, you’ll pass by the Goddess Guan Yin Statue – Goddess Guanyin is usually referred to as the most widely beloved Buddhist Divinity. In Chinese Buddhism, Guan Yin is synonymous with the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, the pinnacle of mercy, compassion, kindness and love.
Last but not least you will reach the temple, half way between the View Point and the Hat Yai Municipal Park. You can continue on foot to the park or get your car to meet you here, ample parking bay and restroom is available too.
