This temple was completed in 1869 and built in the Hokkien style, where the ends of the curved roof ridge sweeps outwards like swallow tails and the clay roof tiles are not glazed. Its foundation plaque records that it was located on this site because of its good feng shui (geomancy) properties as it used to front the sea and behind it stands Ann Siang Hill.
