The Oldest Temple in Melaka – A Peaceful Glimpse into the Past

#malaccaguide

In the heart of Melaka’s old town stands the oldest Chinese temple in Malaysia, quietly welcoming visitors with its rich history and calm presence. The scent of incense fills the air as you walk past red pillars, intricate wood carvings, and tiled roofs decorated with dragons and flowers. Inside, people offer prayers to the Goddess of Mercy and other deities, surrounded by centuries-old ancestral tablets. Despite being in the middle of a busy heritage street, this temple feels peaceful and timeless a place to pause, reflect, and admire the beauty of tradition that still lives on today.
