Constructed in 1884, the Datuk Kong Temple is said to be the oldest temple in town. The main temple building faces the intersection of Jalan Taiping and Jalan Padang, with a spacious parking space in front of it. The temple is open daily, with its festive days falling on the 1st and 15th day of the lunar month.
