Visited back in March before the MCO and lockdown. This is one of the oldest religious buildings in Johor Bahru and the oldest Chinese temple. The front of the building is beautifully decorated with cute paintings of 12 animals of the Chinese Zodiac. The front entrance is painted in bold red and contrasts beautifully against the predominantly white background of the front wall. The temple interestingly serves all the main dialectal Chinese groups of the city. So it’s not a surprise that the temple has a mixture of shrines for Buddhism, Taoism and other Chinese deities. The Chinese deity Yuan Tian Shang Di is most prominent in the temple as the shrine is in the main central building while there is a subsidiary building for the Goddess of Mercy.

It underwent a major renovation in 1994-95 at a cost of 1.5 million ringgit.

This is a lovely heritage temple next door to the hotel I stayed on business last week (Puteri Pac) and after a morning workout, I walked there to visit the place as well as offer prayers... There is a large statue of the Goddess of Mercy and several other Buddhist deities in the place (including Guan Gong and the Maitreya Buddha), along with a nice entrance arch that won’t look out of place in any Buddhist temple in China! Also, it is interesting that we were asked to take 12 joss sticks for prayers instead of the usual three or six...

A short visit here. Ancient temple is my favorite to visit everytime i go to new place. We come here at 11am, so the weather is so hot. I recommended to come before 10am or after 4am. This temple is free entry You only need to donate money as much as you want if you want to pray. At first, we are a bit confused what to do and no information or official guide you for anything. Overall, this ancient temple is worth to visit
