Hong San Si Temple, Chinese temple in Carpenter Street, Kuching, Malaysia.
The red and gold temple features ornate rooftop dragons, traditional Chinese architectural elements, and decorative carvings on its exterior walls.
Established in 1848, the temple received recognition from James Brooke, the first Rajah of Sarawak, who assisted in completing its construction.
The temple honors Kong Teck Choon Ong, a Hokkien child deity, through annual celebrations in April with float processions and dragon dances.
Located at the intersection of Jalan Wayang and Jalan Carpenter, the temple opens daily and forms part of the Kuching Heritage Trail.
During the Great Fire of Kuching in 1884, residents reported seeing the child deity on rooftops before rain extinguished the flames.
