Located in the Manjung district of Perak and quite near Sitiawan and Lumut is the Tua Pek Kong Temple. This temple is believed to be more than 100 years old but has since underwent major transformation which included additions of more statues, a pagoda and a dragon tunnel.
This popular tourist attraction is famous for its 98 statues of deities and animals from the Chinese lunar calendar. Eleven of its gigantic statues measure between 2.1 and 14.6 metres in height.
One can walk thru the tunnel which is shaped like a dragon from its mouth. The interior walls of the tunnel bear illustrations of scenes from the Ten Chambers of Hell.
