Geok San Soo, Tanjung Bungah

Geok San Soo Temple, Tanjung Bungah (14 September 2008)


The Geok San Soo (GPS: 5.46473, 100.28492), or Jade Mountain Temple, is a Chinese temple in Tanjong Bungah. Built in the 1930s, it is located next to the Pasar & Balai Rakyat Tanjung Bungah (Tanjung Bungah Market & Community Hall). In front of Geok San Soo is a stage where Chinese operas are performed for the entertainment of the deities, during their birthdays and feast days.

Inside Geok San Soo Temple are the altars of the deities. On the left wing of the temple is the ancient hall, where ancestral temples are venerated. At this moment, I am still looking for more information about this temple.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
