Kheng Hock Keong Temple, Chinese Taoist temple in Latha Township, Yangon, Myanmar.

The temple features ornate dragons, traditional lanterns, and three main altars housing deities Mazu, Guan Gong, and Bao Sheng Da Di.

The temple's structure, completed in 1903, replaced an original wooden building from 1861 constructed on tax-exempt land granted by British authorities.

The temple maintains its position as the primary spiritual center for Hokkien and Hakka worshippers, reflecting Chinese traditions in Myanmar.

Located at 426-432 Strand Road, the temple welcomes visitors daily between 5:00 AM and 9:00 PM without requiring an entrance fee.

Morning rituals at the temple start before 9:00 AM when worshippers present offerings of candles, flowers, and incense at various altars.
