Why go
A 19th-century temple dedicated to five deities of JB's main Chinese dialect groups — still an active place of worship and the spiritual heart of the local Chinese community.
Free entry; 15–30 minutes suffices. It's an active temple, so dress modestly and keep noise down. Pairs perfectly with Tan Hiok Nee, five minutes' walk away.
