Hock Teik Soo 福德祠 (Mak Mandin Tua Pek Kong Temple)

Hock Teik Soo Temple, Mak Mandin (17 August 2015)


The Mak Mandin Hock Teik Soo Temple (GPS: 5.42241, 100.38615; Traditional/Simplified Chinese: 福德祠), or commonly known as the Mak Mandin Tua Pek Kong Temple, is a Chinese temple in Mak Mandin, Butterworth. It is built for Tua Pek Kong, the Taoist god of prosperity which is reverred throughout Southern China as well as the Nanyang.

When I paid a visit to the Mak Mandin Hock Teik Soo on 29 January 2009, the temple hall was still under construction. It is located next to a Hindu temple, the Sri Murugan Paribalana Avai. When I returned in 2015, I saw that the temple was long completed, but the Hindu temple next to it has been demolished.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
