Kampung Tok'kong is known for Seng Choon Kiong (聖春宫), a temple to the Chinese sea goddess Tian Shang Sheng Mu (天上聖母), also known as Mazu, the deified form of the medieval Fujianese girl Lin Moniang.[1] The temple is approximately 300 years old and is a site of pilgrimage for worshippers of Mazu in Malaysia. Lin Moniang's birth is commemorated each year on the 23rd day of the third month of the Chinese lunar calendar.
