A good short visit to a small temple, free entry and you only need 10-15 mins to see it all. Makes for some good photos. Situated in middle of roundabout.

There are not many Taoist temples in Kuching. Tua Pek Kong is a small temple that you can explore in under 15 minutes. Dragon motifs adorn the colourful outer walls. Prominent location as it sits at the junction between Jalan Tunku Rahman and Main Bazaar.

This is a rather small temple. It is rather normal in appearance and shouldn't take more than 10 minutes to see but it has some historical significance. The doors have some nice 3D carvings.

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.

Historically started from 1770 but only be able to be traced since 1843 this temple survived from Great Fire of Kuching, and later Japanese Bombing during World War II in 1941, and still remain intact until 21st century Start, as we can see now, with latest restoration efforts in 2015. Situated on high ground, easy to find when you walk to the end of Sarawak River Waterfront, at the opposite side of Hornbill Steel Sculpture and Chinese History Museum. Take a short visit and see the inside, it is an active temple as we can see plenty of burning incenses and offerings. It is a beautiful old temple with red colours as the main nuance and ornaments, eye catching from the distance.

I found the building, the architecture and the religious artefacts interesting having never been in a Taoist temple.
Doris, our guide from Diethelm Travel, explained, to my wife and I, the history of the temple and the intricacies of Taoist worship.
The visit was enjoyable and interesting.

As the temple is just 5 minute walk from our hotel, we decided to pay a visit.
The temple is well built and well maintained and always has a lot of visitors to the city.

It sits on a commanding position overlooking the Sarawak River and is the oldest Chinese temple in the city dating back to 1843. It is sadi to be one of the few buildings that survived the Great Fire in Kuching of 1884.Worth a look.
