TUA PEK KONG TEMPLE
Built in 1870, this beautiful Chinese temple is located on the banks of the river and is the oldest temple in Sibu. Icon of the city with its 7-storey pagoda, it is the building not to be missed. Partly destroyed during the Second World War, it was rebuilt in 1957 with decorative objects from China and modified several times in the decades that followed. It is dedicated to Tua Pek Kong, a sailor from Fujian, considered as the incarnation of the god Fu, symbol of prosperity. Tua Pek Kong is revered only in Malaysia and idolatry began in Penang.
