Tua Pek Kong - Temple in Kuching

"Tua Pek Kong is the oldest Chinese temple in Kuching, just off Main Bazaar. It has a lot of character, and I took these photos on a clear sunny day when it was looking freshly painted. Nice! According to Wikipedia: Tua Pek Kong (大伯公 or Dàbó Gōng) 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 worshipping him and built the Tua Pek Kong temple there. Today Tua Pek Kong is worshipped by Malaysian Chinese throughout the country.

Thanks for the feedback, it was fun to make. This was while I was on holiday, I'm trying to think of great things to synth closer to home too! :)

"The big roundabout in Kuching with the big white cat statue (tourists love to take photos here) and the welcome gateway. The roundabout connects Jalan Central Timur and Jalan Padungan."
