This
temple is located right next to Ann Siang Hill, with the hill backing
it. This temple used to front the sea. It is because of these factors
which made up the good feng shui of this place that allowed the temple
to be constructed here.
This
Hokkien-style temple was first established in 1867 by the Abbot Da Ming
and was completed in 1869, however there were some sources that state
its completion was in year 1889. Little is known about Abbot Da Ming and
his background. However, since this temple is built in the
Hokkien-style, one can conclude that it is most likely built by the
Hokkien community.
The
main deity worshipped here is the Tua Pek Kong, who is the hokkien
deity of prosperity. The banner which reads ‘大伯公’ (Tua Pek Kong) can be
seen hanging infront of the temple.
