The Penang Snake Temple was built by a Buddhist monk from China in the 1800s in memory of the deity Chor Soo Kong who had legendary healing powers. After the temple was built, snakes from the nearby jungles mysteriously appeared and was given shelter by the monk who considered it a good omen. The pet vipers have since resided in the sacred halls of the temple.
