Built over 200 years ago, this temple is located in the old bazaar area behind Camões Garden, close to the Kiang Vu Hospital on Rua Coelho do Amaral. It is very popular, especially among women who come with offerings to the goddesses of fertility and child rearing that occupy one side of the temple. There are also a fine collection of year gods and prayer halls dedicated to Pau Kung, Taoist god of justice, and Kun Iam. Up a flight of steps and through a moongate is the main altar, with the image of the Sleeping Buddha, a small, gilded figure lying chin on hand. More steep steps lead to a shrine to Chung Kwai, Controller of Devils.
