⛩️ Hock Soon Temple in Mersing
Hock Soon Temple, located in Mersing, Johor, Malaysia, is one of the oldest Chinese temples in the area, boasting over a century of history. Primarily dedicated to Tua Pek Kong, the temple serves as a vital center of worship for local Chinese fishermen and residents. The temple's architecture retains a strong Southern Chinese style, with carved beams and painted rafters, and intricately decorated with colorful porcelain, bearing witness to the cultural heritage of the Chinese ancestors who migrated to Southeast Asia. The temple is bustling with incense, and is especially bustling during festivals. It is not only a place for prayer, but also an important window for visitors to explore the culture of the Chinese community in Mersing.
