Thni Kong Tnua, or the Jade Emperor's Pavilion, is a Taoist temple at the foot of Penang Hill at the Air Itam suburb in George Town, Penang. Completed in 1869, it is the only temple in Malaysia to be built specifically for the worship of the Jade Emperor (Hokkien: Thiⁿ-kong) and becomes a focal point for the annual Jade Emperor's Birthday celebrations on the ninth day of Chinese New Year.^[1]^[2]

The temple, located near the Penang Hill Railway station, was also famously featured in Episode 8 of The Amazing Race 16.

The temple was built in the 1860s by members of the ethnic Chinese Hokkien community in Malaysia and underwent a restoration beginning in 2002.^[3]^[4]
