★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I love syncretic Chinese temples, and so for me this place was a delight. The main deity is Tua Pek Gong (Taoist) - a protective deity in charge of a tract of land, and his statue was excellent. Their Guan Yin (Buddhist) statue, unlike any other I have seen is perched on top of a stone elephant and was quite a curio. And of course, at the back, is a very small cave with a small shrine and some bats (hence the name). If you are not a temple enthusiast, this is a long way to go for a temple which takes at most 15 minutes to walk round 5 times, but for the interested, this one s well worth the journey

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ If you are heading to Penang Hill, pop by this small temple for a quick visit. There is a small bat cave inside the temple. Opposite the temple there is also a small tortoise pond.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The small cave situated in the temple has a low ceiling. We encountered a couple friendly males who talked to us about the place and showed us the giant fish in a concrete pool also in the temple. One of these fellas likes to collect coins from other countries but unfortunately we didn't have any on us to give him.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ News broke out today, 10/03/2022 that the temple caught fire early this morning and was completely destroyed. The badly destroyed temple marks the end of an epic landmark for Taoist devotees to this majestic temple. The caused of the fire has yet to be ascertained.
There are no gimmicks involve, its an actual cave with life bats numbering about 100 odd inside the temple cave. Not a very big Taoist temple though, the shrine is said to be 200 years old and the housed deity is Tua Pek Kong (God of Prosperity) made from granite stone. Like any Chinese temple besides the main deity there are usually a number of other accompanying deities. Devotees far and near throng the temple praying for good luck.
For those intended followers who wished to be blessed with good luck will have to wait until the temple have been repair, if any repairs are to be carried out. Those who have never visited this temple hard luck, faith is not on your side until then good luck and may you have another chance to visit this temple again.
