Cheng Hoon Teng Temple




 This temple was founded in 1645 by Lee Wei King and is the oldest functioning Chinese temple in Malaysia. The main hall was built by Chan Ki Lock in 1704 and was rebuilt in 1801 by Kapitan China Chua Su Cheong. The temple was constructed by craftsmen using materials brought in from southern China. It occupies 50,000 square feet.
The area is mainly full of middle-aged, Chinese people. There are also a lot of rich culture in the design of the roof and overall architecture of the temple. The temple grounds are also very spacious and airy.
