Its main deity is Guanyin, and it also houses several Taoist deities. Its red roofs, dragon columns and incense burners preserve a strong Hokkien style. The temple stands on the Musi riverbank in 10 Ulu on the south bank. You can reach it by small boat from the riverside plaza, or on foot across the Ampera Bridge.
