Siang Cho Keong Temple, Singapore (1 August 2017)
Siang Cho Keong Temple (GPS: 1.28003, 103.84656; also written Sian Chai Kang Temple and Sin Chor Kung Temple; Simplified/Traditional Chinese: 仙祖宫; Pinyin: Xiān Zǔ Gōng) at the corner of Amoy Street, and at the foot of Ann Siang Hill, is a Chinese temple dedicated to Tua Pek Kong, the Hokkien deity of prosperity. The deity is also popular among the Teochew people. Although quite a small temple, the Sin Chor Kung Temple is ever popular and has a continuous stream of worshippers.
Sin Chor Kung Temple dates back to 1869 when Amoy Street is much closer to the sea. Over time, successive land reclamation has moved the shoreline farther and farther away. Sin Chor Kung Temple is just a short walk from the bigger Thian Hock Keong Temple, at Telok Ayer Street.
As with many Chinese temples, the Sin Chor Kung Temple has a pair of guardian lions in front of it, said to bring prosperity to the worshippers of the temple.
