Tua Pek Kong Temple, Sitiawan

Even though my CNY was filled with books, yet I'm still able to visit a place I haven't been before, Tua Pek Kong Temple in Sitiawan. It was my first time I really set foot in Sitiawan as my family usually go there just to have seafood nothing more nothing less.
Ok back to the temple, it is situated quite deep inside a kampung by the coast of Pasir Panjang. We used GPS to find that place. Thanks to the technology nowadays, we will not get lost no matter where we are!!! Tua Pek Kong, literally means "Grand Uncle" is one of the pantheon of Malaysian Chinese Gods. It was believed the date Tua Pek Kong arrived in Penang was 40 years before Francis Light in 1746.

Tua Pek Kong was a man named Zhang Li (张理) from the Hakka clan. His Sumatra-bound boat was struck by wind and accidentally landed on Penang island of Malaysia, which at that time had only 50 inhabitants. After his death, the local people began worshiping him and built the Tua Pek Kong temple there. Today Tua Pek Kong is worshiped by Malaysian Chinese throughout the country. Tua Pek Kong is often mistaken for Tu Di Gong, partially because of their physical similarities.

The main attraction drawing crowds of local and out-of-town visitors are 98 statues of deities and animals from the Chinese lunar calendar on the well-landscaped three-hectare compound.
