I found the building, the architecture and the religious artefacts interesting having never been in a Taoist temple. Doris, our guide from Diethelm Travel, explained, to my wife and I, the history of the temple and the intricacies of Taoist worship. The visit was enjoyable and interesting.

After strolling around since morning, we decided to come here to rest and have our afternoon pray. Its so breezy because it resides right on the side of the Kuching River

The Hiang Thian Siang Ti Temple is located in the heart of Chinatown in Carpenter Street. It has an interesting history (ask at the Chinese Museum near the Waterfront) and has plenty of character.
