    Well restored and looked after, remember to respect the worshipers whilst taking photos as this is an 'operational' temple.

    This temple carries at least 100 years of history for the local Chinese to pray everyday and packed especially during public holidays. This is where you look out for the culture and custom of Chinese migrants. Definitely worth the visit.
