Cheng Hoon Teng Temple

#malaccatrip One of the must-visit attractions in Malacca is the Cheng Hoon Teng Temple, situated on Temple Street. This temple is one of three temples in close proximity, representing the harmonious blend of Chinese, Indian and Malay cultures that Malacca is known for. The Cheng Hoon Teng is a functional temple that attracts a large number of devotees, especially during festivals when the air is filled with incense. Consequently, it is advisable to avoid visiting during these periods to ensure a comfortable and peaceful experience.
