Chinese settlers
This stunning temple is dedicated to the Chinese Jade Emperor God. It was first built in nearby Jl. Pa’ Abu about a hundred years ago by the early Chinese immigrants from Southern China. In the 1980’s the Cantonese and Hokkien community built a brand-new temple here in Kampung Benggali.
Yellow lanterns
We love the may yellow lanterns hung throughout the temple grounds. Yellow is an imperial colour representing power, royalty and prosperity in traditional Chinese colour symbolism. The colour yellow and its shades are also the main colour of Buddhism.
