Built by the island’s Hokkien community, Ba Xian Miao (八仙廟) is one of several Chinese temples in Labuan.
Also known as the Eight Deities temple or the ‘Heaven and Earth’ temple, this Taoist place of worship features halls dedicated to Heaven and Hell.
It is usually crowded during Chinese New Year, Hungry Ghosts Festival and the Nine Emperor Gods Festival, a colourful celebration honoring the birth of a deity in Chinese mythology.
The Hungry Ghosts Festival and Nine Emperor Gods Festival respectively take place during the seventh and ninth month of the Chinese lunar calendar.

Worth a visit. Temple is at three levels. Heaven, earth and the under world. So start at the top n work your way down. Don’t forget to use the huge Gong. An under rated, obscure facet of an under rated island.
