Cheng Hoon Teng, Chinese temple in Malacca, Malaysia.
The main hall of Cheng Hoon Teng features detailed woodcarvings, traditional architectural elements, and ornate decorations imported directly from China during its construction.
Founded in 1645 during the Dutch colonial period, the temple was established by Chinese Kapitans Tay Kie Ki and Tay Hong Yong as a center for the Chinese community.
The temple incorporates the practices of Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism, making it a significant religious center for the Hoklo community in Malacca.
Located at 25 Jalan Tokong, the temple complex spans 4,600 square meters and contains multiple prayer halls dedicated to various Chinese deities and ancestral tablets.
A seven-meter red flagpole within the temple grounds holds the preserved remains of two of the three Kapitans who were instrumental in its establishment.
