Ho Ann Kiong Temple (

Chinese temple situated in Chinatown of Kuala Terengganu, Terengganu, Malaysia. It is the oldest Taoist temple in the state as part of the Chinatown.^[2]^[3]

History

The temple was built in 1801 by early

deities for cure.^[1] Their appeal would be answered under a condition that the temple building should be repaired. The town population subsequently agreed to the condition and following the repair, the epidemic miraculously dissipated.^[1]

In the week after Chinese New Year in 2010, half of the temple building was suddenly ravaged by fire.^[4] Having learnt the lesson from the older town population, the newer generations immediately raised series of funds to repair and restore the damaged temple.^[1] The temple was then fully restored in 2012 with a total cost of RM1.3 million.^[5]
