“Before 1950” echoes in the wind. That’s how long ago the Sungai Nibong Hean Leng Kong temple was established. We stand before \u663e\u7075\u5bab, also known as Hean Leng Kong. It is a Taoist place of worship. The temple is located in Sungai Nibong, Penang. Its address is No.3, Jalan Pantai Jerjak Empat.
\u663e\u7075\u5bab opens its doors from 7 AM to 10 PM daily. Inside, many deities are worshipped. The main deity is Tua Pek Kong. Other deities include Hock Teik Cheng Sin. There is also the Central Altar Marshal. Don’t forget Tua Sui Yah. Na Tok Kong is also honored. So is the Grand Master.
Two major celebrations occur here annually. The first is Tua Pek Kong’s birthday. It falls on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The second celebration honors the Grand Master. This occurs on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month.
The \u663e\u7075\u5bab provides a sacred space. Here, devotees can connect with their faith. They offer prayers for blessings and guidance. Its long history enriches Penang’s cultural heritage. The temple stands as a testament to the community’s devotion. It is a vibrant center of spiritual life.
