Tian Gong Tan Temple

Quaint religious architecture in a secluded corner of Butterworth

Tian Gong Tan Temple

Dedicated to the Chinese Jade Emperor God, this temple was craftily rebuilt with resplendent decorations on a somewhat small land space in 2008. It is located at the quiet corner of Lintang Kampung Benggali, a short distance away from the busy Jalan Kampung Benggali.


The temple was originally established in nearby Jalan Pa’ Abu about a hundred years ago by the early Hokkien and Cantonese communities of Butterworth. It was later moved to its current site at Lintang Kampung Benggali in the 1980s.
