In the middle of Melaka’s lively Jonker Walk, there’s a quiet treasure, the oldest Chinese temple in Malaysia, founded in 1600s and it’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 isn’t just a temple, it’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. 🌏❤️
