Place: | Cheng Hoon Teng Temple |
Details: | Malaysia's oldest still-operating Chinese temple, constructed in 1673, remains a central place of worship for the Buddhist community in Melaka City. It's also a testament to the perseverance of the local Chinese community who funded its restoration following traditional methods, from the ornate roof ceramics to the painted tigers by the door. The temple is dedicated to Kuan Yin, the goddess of mercy. |
