Johor Bahru Old Chinese temple, Chinese temple in Jalan Trus, Malaysia

The religious building features three prayer halls, white outer walls, numerous potted plants, and a giant Tien Gong incense pot at the entrance.

Established between 1870 and 1880 under Sultan Abu Bakar's support, the temple was founded by Tan Hiok Nee, leader of the Ngee Heng Company.

The temple unites five Chinese ethnic groups - Teochew, Hokkien, Cantonese, Hakka, and Hainanese - each worshipping their specific deities within the same complex.

Located in central Johor Bahru, the temple receives visitors daily and stands near City Square mall, with multiple transportation options available.

The temple organizes an annual Chingay parade during the first lunar month, drawing 300,000 participants for a four-day celebration with deity processions.
