GEORGE TOWN: Days before Chinese New Year, some 500 resident tortoises at the Kek Lok Si Temple have been moved to a new home – the Oriental Garden at the foothill of the temple.

The landscaped area with a cascading waterfall that forms part of the pond, provides a bigger and more natural setting for the reptiles.
