Hong San Keong Temple 鳳山宫

Hong San Keong Temple, Macallum Street Ghaut, Penang (12 April 2013)


Hong San Keong (GPS: 5.40753, 100.33535; Traditional Chinese: 鳳山宫; Simplified Chinese: 凤山宫; Pinyin: Fèng Shān Gōng) is a Chinese temple in the Macallum Street Ghaut part of George Town, Penang. The name Hong San Keong means "Temple of Phoenix Mountain". The present temple building was completed around 2012 though the temple itself dates back to 1963, when it was part of the Koay Jetty.

The prayer hall of Hong San Keong has images of the deities installed at the far end. The sanctuary comprises three alcoves. The central alcove houses the principal deity, Guang Ze Zun Wang (廣澤尊王). Auxiliary deities are installed on the side alcoves; to the left is Qing Shui Zu Shi (清水祖師) while to the right is Fen Yang Wang (汾陽王).

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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