Tow Boo Kong (Taoist Temple) Jalan Raja Uda, Butterworth, Seberang Perai (Exterior)

Dou Mu Niang Niang — majestic palace of Dou Mu

I have read much about this Taoist temple located along Jalan Raja Uda in Butterworth, Seberang Perai in the papers these past few months and had wanted to make a trip north during the Nine Emperor Gods festival in October, but the trip didn’t materialise and I went to cover the events at Tow Boh Keong in Ipoh, instead.

Our trip to Penang saw us making a stop at Tow Boo Kong in Butterworth. Even though the GPS didn’t work somehow, the temple is not difficult to locate. Just drive along Jalan Raja Uda and you cannot miss the grand arch!
