Hsieh Thien Kong Temple, Jelutong

Pathway to Hsieh Thien Kong Jelutong Temple (30 November 2008)


Hsieh Thien Kong Temple (GPS: 5.38728, 100.31275) is a small Taoist temple along the Jelutong main road. It is located opposite Lebuhraya Jelutong. The temple was recently moved here in mid 2008. According to a person who was worshipping there when I visited, they lacked funds to build a bigger temple. Hence, it is just the size of a shrine.

Within Hsieh Thien Kong Temple is a collection of Taoist deities including the Tua Pek Kong as well as the guardian deities of Hades.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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