Ling Nam Ku Miew Temple, Taiping

Ling Nam Ku Miew, Taiping (17 February, 2018)




Ling Nam Ku Miew Temple (GPS: 4.8621, 100.74708) is a Chinese temple in Taiping, Perak. It is located on Jalan Taming Sari, a short walking distance from the Taiping Prison and Perak Museum. The temple has a squarish front façade with its front entrance flanked on either sides with round windows and grills in the form of stylised bamboo. The incense burner is located just off the left side of the entrance.

Ling Nam Ku Miew occupies a slightly elevated piece of land to the north of the Taiping Lake Gardens. It is said to date back to 1883, and was built for the veneration of the god of Fengshui. The present building dates from 1995, after the earlier structure was demolished and the temple rebuilt. The reconstruction did away with the ornate Chinese style architecture, replacing it with a rather plain design.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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