Sin Chor Kung Temple, Singapore

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.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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