section-1
The official regency tourism inventory places the temple at Jalan Merdeka No. 266 in Kelurahan Tengah, Delta Pawan. Use the full Ketapang address when arranging transport: Tua Pek Kong is a name shared by temples elsewhere in Borneo. Look at the relationship between the entrance, street and religious space rather than treating every decorated building nearby as part of the same site.
section-2
The inventory draws attention to red colouring, dragon ornament and religious figures. These provide details to notice slowly, without assuming that a visitor can interpret every symbol unaided. It also records a fire in 2010 followed by renovation. The photograph used here is an archival view from 2007; it documents an earlier appearance and should not be read as a promise of today’s building condition or access.
section-3
Official local reporting places Tua Pek Kong at the centre of Ketapang’s 2026 Cap Go Meh programme, with dragon and lion performances associated with the celebration. That establishes a community role, not a daily show or a schedule for a future year. On an ordinary day, a quiet look from permitted areas may be the appropriate visit. Ask a custodian before entering and give worshippers priority.
section-4
Combine the temple with a separate meal or a public riverside stop, allowing travel time between locations. Ask before close portraits or indoor photography, dress considerately and keep entrances clear. Avoid using an old online opening-time or price field as a guarantee: confirm visitor access locally before making a special journey. The temple complements the Malay palace heritage of Mulia Kerta without replacing it; each place deserves its own history and explanation.
