A corner in Penang for Teochews who landed. Hard to find Teochew cuisine now that Goh Huat Seng has closed, pray for rain and walk down a deadend alley..

This old Chinese Temple is in the Little India area. Built in 1870 it has been restored. This old temple is the only example in Georgetown of Teochew architecture.

very old temple build in 1870, so wow just i cant imagine how many a history had seen by this temple and written by it, with 249 years old building but still great stand up with the beautiful herself, the painting and the other artefacts really priceless. and this temple open for public on early morning.

Temple located on a busy road which has been recently rebuilt. It's nice and all, but expect to spend 10 minutes here and take a few photos. It seems few people come here to pray but to take photos instead

Little temple, built by the Teochews who emigrated to Penang from China. Can't enter due to EMCO.

Was beautiful and people were mostly here for photos.

not much people coming in.there just a little explanation inside the temple. it might be nice if they put some detailed explanation :)

Can know the details of Teochew history and cultures

Suggest to check on opening times / hours before paying a visit

This temple built by the Teochew ancestors who moved to Penang was restored thrice and well maintined since. My first visit though I am a Teochew.

We took a picture of the gate outside this location and a rude guard motioned towards us to indicatw that we couldnt take pictures. Its a landmark at a tourist spot. Pls be more friendly to visitors. You can ask nicely if that's the rule not shout "hoi! Hoi! Hoi!" Also, no pictures is an odd rule at a tourist spot. We can respect that but dont be rude abt it. We may have friends from overseas and thats very inhospitable and embarrasing.

I loved my visit here, it's much less busy than most in Georgetown. I was probably here 30ins or more, I saw three other people. It's extremely peaceful inside with beautiful furnishing and decor. There's even chairs you can borrow to sit down and relax in the tranquil atmosphere. It's also free!😁 Of course it's worth a small donation.

A gem of Penang heritage. This a an ancestral temple for 潮州Chao Zhou clans of Guangdong Province of China. These clans form a great number of Chinese diaspora to Vietnam, Thailand and the northern part of the Malay Peninsula. Their dialect spoken is very similar to the dialect spoken in Taiwan. The temple was renovated recently and was one of the few receiving a reward of restoration excellence from UNESCO. The peaceful vibe exudes in the temple presents another dimension of bustling George Town. The architecture has all the extravagant figurines, mythical creatures, exemplary high timber doors with colonial period latch, roof ceilings painted in great hues and granite slab flooring in the main compound besides the old era tiles in the hall. The deity Xuan Tian Shang Did (玄天上帝) is prayed right in the main hall. A very common deity prayed in Taoism. The deity always has a turtle under his right foot and a snake under his left foot. This is corresponding to the Chinese celestial teaching like the western constellation. A must visit to savor a masterpiece collection.

Small but well kept Teow chew ancestral temple at the edge of little India. Worth a quick stop over.
