The Geok San Soo, or Jade Mountain Temple, is a Chinese temple in Tanjung Bungah. It is located next to the Pasar & Balai Rakyat Tanjung Bungah (Tanjung Bungah Market & Community Hall). In front of Geok San Soo is a stage where Chinese operas are performed for the entertainment of the deities, during their birthdays and feast days.

Inside Geok San Soo Temple are the altars of the deities. On the left wing of the temple is the ancient hall, where ancestral temples are venerated. At this moment, I am still looking for more information about this temple. If you have further knowledge of it, please write to me at the email address shown on this page, so that I can improve the details about Geok San Soo.

Geok San Soo is located in Tanjung Bungah, between Hill Side and Jalan Lembah Permai. If you are relying on public transport, Rapid Penang Buses Nos. 101, 103 and U104 goes to Tanjung Bungah. Check details at the Rapid Penang Bus Routes.
