The earliest Chinese temple in Labuan Island is Kwong Fook Kung Temple. It is especially packed with tourists compared to the other Chinese temples. The temple started in 1852 and reconstructed in 1969.


It was started by a group of migrants from Guangdong, China. Kwang Fook Kong Temple is the oldest Chinese Temple in Labuan. Every year in March, Kwang Fook Kong Temple will celebrate the birthday of its deity with gaiety and festivity.

In the beginning, the Kwong Fook Kung Temple and the Kwong Wei Siew Association (members from Guangdong province) were of the same roots, founded by the same 5 members, 翁观聪、梅彬远、李玉昆、黄长才and黄二妹. A plaque in the Kwong Fook Kung Temple has the Kwong Wei Siew Association name carved in it which proves that the Association had already existed in 1852.
