About Tham Kung Temple

Tham Kung Temple is a Chinese temple on the north side of Sandakan. It is located at Mile 1.5 Jalan Utara. The original temple was constructed in 1894 by Hakka immigrants.

The conservation of Tham Kung Temple was hailed as a first in Malaysia, when the original shrine was lifted and brought into the new temple complex built around it. This created a "temple within a temple."

Getting there

Tham Kung Temple is located off Jalan Utara. If you are coming from Sandakan town, take a right turn immediately after the UEM Building. That is before the roundabout (Bulatan Elopura). If you got to the roundabout, make a 360° turn. Refer to my map below for further details on the location.
