★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It is the oldest Chinese temple in Malaysia, quite sizable, sitting quietly next to Jonker Street. It really represents the 600 years history of Maleka, and telling us how great and tough first generation of Chinese earn their life away from homeland.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Known as one of the earliest Chinese temple built in Malaysia, the fine decorative carving of the temple depicts the cultural diversity during that period of time. One of the many attractions of Malacca. Though its old but its limited don't miss out when in Malacca.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very ancient temple locating in the heart of the Malacca town. Fine crafting on the pillar and the building are all well preserved. Entrance is free and dress appropriately are recommended. Public toilet is available within the compound. There are still restoration and renovation work ongoing at the site. Suggest to park nearby as there are other interesting attractions along the way.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Visited back in Feb.
The Cheng Hoon Teng Temple is the oldest functioning Chinese temple in Malaysia and is one that’s
lavishly decorated with Chinese sculptures, ceramic sculptures on the roofs, golden paintings on temple doors. This is one of many buildings worth a visit in Malacca. As it was just after Chinese New Year and still within the celebrations period, many of the decorations were still and the Chinese style lanterns made the place even more beautiful.
One of my favourite things is a rock garden at the back of the temple feature a limestone sculpture decorated with many Taoist, Buddhist and Confucian figure, centred around the Goddess of Mercy.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This temple carries at least 100 years of history for the local Chinese to pray everyday and packed especially during public holidays.
This is where you look out for the culture and custom of Chinese migrants.
Definitely worth the visit.
