Tow Boo Kong Temple

#summervacay Tow Boo Kong Temple—also known as the Nine Emperor Gods Temple in Butterworth, Penang. Established in 1970 as a modest attap-roof shrine, the temple was gradually rebuilt on Lots 896 and 894 along Jalan Raja Uda between 1971 to 2000. The impressive grand structure was officially completed in April 2000 with intricate carvings by 50 craftsmen from China. The temple façade features an imposing ornate archway gate, dragon pillars, and sweeping roofs adorned with phoenix and dragon motifs—symbols of protection and prosperity. Inside, multiple prayer halls are richly decorated with gold tones and vibrant murals. #couplestrip #travel
