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.
