This temple is located in Tuban Regency, the city lying in the north coast of East Java.
It is also easy to reach by public transport such as bus or car since its strategic position close to the Surabaya and Jakarta main road, or take only a short walk about two hundred metres from the Tuban bus terminal.

The worship place of Kwan Sing Bio temple is predicted to have been built in the seventh century and it was also believed to have high supernatural quality, therefore lots of Hindu pilgrims visite there daily, especially on holidays of Chinese calendar Imlek and the birthday of Kwan Ping Thai Tjoe, Kwan Sing Tee Koen, and Tjoe Jong Tiang Koen.
The temple faces northward to the seashore.
The Indonesian Chinese communities believe that God will easily grant every prayer spelt in this direction. One of its uniqueness is the giant crab standing on the gateway, and such a kind of this is away from the custom since most of the temples have symbol of dragon and peacock.

The story of building up the temple is quite unique, as there was a mystical thing happened before starting work. Once, some Buddhists wanted to move the statue of Kwan Kong located at Tambakrejo village to somewhere in Surabaya by sea. The ship, however, suddenly span and therefore she could not continue her trip. They prayed together and got an inspiration that the statue did not want to move to another place. Finally, they went back to Tambakrejo village and built a temple there. The statue is believed to have existed there during the 13 th century, the time when the Mongolian troops attacked Indonesia.
