Guan Ti Temple

The historic Taoist temple located on Jalan Tun H. S. Lee was built in 1888 in dedication to the mighty and powerful God of War, Guan Di (also known as Guan Yu). Many worships him because of his fighting and war skills. They believe that if and only if you have a pure mind, you can achieve well-being through the blessings and protection of Guan Di.

The entrance of the temple is guarded by two stone Chinese lions that are protective symbols to ward of negative energy. By the door are two intimidating statues of door Gods that also are placed to ward off evil spirits. The design of the roof is truly captivating with carvings of dragons, fishes and a few other mythical Chinese creatures. The temple’s walls are all painted bright red as it symbolizes happiness and abundance.

Upon entering the temple doors, you will be hit with a feeling of serenity and calmness with the spiral incense burning and just the vibes by the people and place. There are colourful dragons around the two main pillars of the temple. In the temple is a statue of Guan Di with two attendants by his side- Guan Ping, his god son and Zhou Cang who carries Guan Di. The unique thing about these three statues is that they are all made of wood.

The temple is also home to other deities like Choy Sun, the God of Prosperity, Guan Yin, the Goddess of Mercy, and Wen Chong, the God of Education and Learning.
