4. Then Sze Koon Temple (Centipede Temple)

The Then Sze Koon Temple, widely known as the Centipede Temple, honours many Taoist and Buddhist deities, including the statue of Guanyin and the money frog. It is the highest Taoist temple in Negeri Sembilan, located at the top of Wu Gong Hill. Due to this, older people may find taking the stairs to this temple quite challenging, but a breathtaking view of the entire Seremban awaits atop the temple.

According to a legend, God transformed a man into a rocking ship that could never sail and dumped him on Wu Gong Hill. His mother, believed to be reincarnated as a centipede, went, and lived beside the rock, which led to the massive stone centipede and temple’s name. If you manage to find a centipede in the temple compound, it is said that you will be blessed with good luck and wealth.

Aside from religious activities and the town’s beautiful scenery, children can also feed the fish, tortoises, and rabbits in the temple.
