This temple is small but really ornate. Look at the ceiling, walls and doors with the carvings and decorations. Worth a visit.

Impressive Building
Sep 2019
Although relatively small and surrounded on three sides by roads this is a very colourful Chinese/Taoist temple nearby to the James Brooke restaurant. Still very much used by the local community as shown by the amount of incense sticks burning when we visited. Some very ornate carvings on the roof and also inside the building, worthy of a short visit.

Bright temple
Apr 2019 • Family
This temple stands out in an area with quite a few. Not for a great reason though - the external colour is more vibrant than the rest as it seems to use plastic/fibre glass icons on the roof which give it a tacky look. Worth a look inside at the traditional side.
