★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Visited this ancient Chinese temple which dates back to 1870s. Similar to Indians, incense sticks are used for prayers.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Takes about 10 minutes by foot from City Square Mall to reach. The temple doesn't look old and is well preserved. Interesting that 12 joss sticks are offered for prayers instead of the usual 3. Was lucky to have witnessed a ceremony for the Buddhist deities. Take a look since it's so near!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nothing much to see here but still worth visiting. A quick visit. Was expecting the place to be bigger. You can get some joss sticks to the left of the temple and use it for prayers. Free entrance. Joss sticks are also free of charge.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Johor Ancient Temple was established around 1870 and is believed to have been built by Kangchu Tan Hiok Nee. The Temple belonged to the five major bang each worshipping their respective gods in the temple as follows: Zhao Da Yuan Shuai (Hainanese), Hua Guang Da Di (Cantonese), Gan Tian Da Di (Hakka), Hong Xian Da Di (Hokkien), Yuan Tian Shang Di (Teochew). The Yuan Tian Shang Di is the main deity of the temple. The temple has been taken over and managed by the of the Johor Bahru Chinese Association. It underwent a major renovation in 1994-95 at a cost of 1.5 million ringgit.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Visited back in March before the MCO and lockdown. This is one of the oldest religious buildings in Johor Bahru and the oldest Chinese temple. The front of the building is beautifully decorated with cute paintings of 12 animals of the Chinese Zodiac. The front entrance is painted in bold red and contrasts beautifully against the predominantly white background of the front wall. The temple interestingly serves all the main dialectal Chinese groups of the city. So it’s not a surprise that the temple has a mixture of shrines for Buddhism, Taoism and other Chinese deities. The Chinese deity Yuan Tian Shang Di is most prominent in the temple as the shrine is in the main central building while there is a subsidiary building for the Goddess of Mercy.
