#Kusu Island turtles & shrines
“Dress modestly to visit the temple and the hilltop kramats.”
About this idea
Legend says a giant tortoise saved shipwrecked sailors by turning into Kusu Island. Today it holds a Chinese temple, a tortoise sanctuary and three Malay kramats on the hill — a peaceful mix of faith, folklore and sea breeze.
