From Bako after bought some fresh fishes somehow dad drive the car to opposite way instead of direct to main road. As for today we go to Muara Tebas to see the historical building. Ching San Yet Temple or know as Muara Tebas Temple is 200 years old temple perched atop the hills 120 ft above sea level. overlooking the Malay Village. Watching the scenery from the top of the hill is awesome. The concept of traditional chinese architecture is still there. We came here at the afternoon. So, you can imagine how hot and sweating climbing the stairs. Just by using Galaxy S6 Edge im impressed with the images i've snapped.
Additiononal info: The temple was first built by Chinese migrants who were thankful to their gods for allowing them to safely arrive in Sarawak, it was built on a spot where they found a natural spring of fresh water, the spring is still there to this day and the water is freely available to all who visit the temple. The temple was built in several stages, for a while it was in a poor condition untill in 1979 a staff building was added and the roof of the main building was repaired. In 1984 the local Hakka association took over the caring for the temple. over the next 14 years the temple was first renovated then also expanded (a dining hall was added). In the year 2000 a fountain and a “Buddha’s footprint” were added to the temple.
