Hsieh Thien Kong Temple is a small Taoist temple along the Jelutong main road. It is located opposite Lebuhraya Jelutong. The temple was recently moved here in mid 2008. According to a person who was worshipping there when I visited, they lacked funds to build a bigger temple. Hence, it is just the size of a shrine.

Within Hsieh Thien Kong Temple is a collection of Taoist deities including the Tua Pek Kong as well as the guardian deities of Hades.
