Tua Pek Kong Temple, Kuching, Chinese temple near Kuching waterfront, Malaysia
The temple displays traditional Chinese architectural elements with carved beams and decorated walls near the intersection of Main Street and Waterfront Road.
The temple dates back to before 1839, with its earliest documented land title from 1871, surviving both the 1884 Great Fire and World War II bombings.
Dedicated to Fu De Zheng Shen, known as Tua Pek Kong, this temple serves as a central place of worship for the Chinese community in Sarawak.
The temple remains open daily for visitors and worshippers, with increased activity during Chinese festivals and celebrations throughout the year.
A century-old water well stands at the rear of the temple, while the building once functioned as a mail collection point for Chinese immigrants.
