Hao Lim Gong-Sungai Sudah / 檺林宮-双溪苏达.

Pinyin, Gao Lin Gong. also knowns as Hau Lim Temple.

Location :- Jalan Muar, Sungai Sudah, Muar, Johor. 麻坡路, 双溪苏达, 麻坡, 柔佛.

This is another chinese temple along Jalan Muar / 麻坡路 that has a huge and unique Pai Lou / 牌樓 by the side of the main road.

Just beside the temple, there is a huge hall and a stage for functions and festival. And also a peculiar designed joss paper furnace on it’s front.

Upon walking to the back of this temple, there are two shrine belonging individually to it’s Na To Gong / 嗱督公 and White Tiger / 白虎 . And beyond that are rows of palm oil trees.

On it’s main altar is a deity that is rarely seen. I presume they are knowns as Zhu Xing Li San Wang Ye / 朱刑李三王爺 or also known as Zhu Xing Li San Wang Fu Da Ren / 朱刑李三王府大人. Unfortunately, I was kindly ask not to post the picture of the deities up close.

Entrance from the side of the outer altar leads you to the inner hall. There is an altar dedicated to the Goddess Guan Yin / 觀音菩薩. And on the side hall way, there is frames of black and white photos of the temples celebration / festival in the past that really excites me. These old photos are rarely seen and becoming a thing of the past.

Since they are currently doing some renovation to the temple, I’ll be sure to revisit when it’s done.
