Thean Hou Temple

[1][2] The following are some of the Hainanese people that contributed to the success in the completion of the Thean Hou Temple: Robert Chow (Architect), Lim Meng Swee (Structural Engineer), Goh T.K (M&E Engineer), Loong Yoke Phin (President), Heng Fook Kum, Wing Hong How, Tan Koon Swan, Tan Loon Swan, Foo Siang Foh, Loong Yeh May and to all Hainanese that donated money by purchasing part of the building i.e. columns and beams.

The temple is directly accessible from Persiaran Endah that connects to Jalan Robson towards the north, but has an incredibly steep gradient for private vehicles and minivans to both ascend and descent on.

A much shorter and narrower road also indirectly connects to the temple's car park to the northwest, but instead cuts through residential units near Bukit Robson.

This syncretic temple with elements of Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism is a grandiose structure and represents a successful combination of modern architectural techniques and authentic traditional design featuring imposing pillars, spectacular roofs, ornate carvings and intricate embellishments.

The front entrance of the temple features a multi-arched gateway with red pillars, the colour symbolic of prosperity and good fortune.

Cultural activities include the annual Mid-Autumn Festival during the eighth lunar month and the Chinese New Year celebration.
