the oldest Chinese temple in Malaysia - holds 400 years of history!

๐Ÿ“Tokong Cheng Hoon Teng (้’ไบ‘ไบญ) ๐Ÿ’ต Free entry ๐Ÿ•ฐ๏ธ Best time: early morning for serenity, or evening when the lanterns glow softly ๐Ÿ’ก Tip: Dress modestly and be mindful of worshippers In the middle of Melakaโ€™s lively Jonker Walk, thereโ€™s a quiet treasure, the oldest Chinese temple in Malaysia, founded in 1600s and itโ€™s still in use in the present. The temple is adorned with intricate wood carvings, stone sculptures, and hand-painted murals that tell stories of Chinese deities and traditions. Every corner whispers history from the gracefully curved rooftops to the incense-filled halls where locals still come to pray for blessings of health, harmony, and prosperity. Tokong Cheng Hoon Teng isnโ€™t just a temple, itโ€™s a living heritage site that beautifully weaves together faith, history, and artistry. A must-visit for anyone who loves culture and storytelling through architecture. ๐ŸŒโค๏ธ #travel #thingstodo
