Tay Kak Sie Temple, Chinese temple in Semarang City, Indonesia
The temple displays multiple halls with ornate roof decorations, dragon sculptures, and intricate ceramic mosaics adorning the structures along Jalan Gang Lombok street.
Built in 1746, Tay Kak Sie Temple began as a sanctuary for worshipping Guan Yin before expanding into a complex that houses numerous Taoist deities.
