Poh San Teng Temple, Chinese temple at the foot of Bukit China, Malacca, Malaysia
Poh San Teng Temple features traditional Chinese architectural elements with artistic roofing details and contains religious artifacts including a ceremonial furnace and multiple altars.
Kapitan Chua Su Cheong established the temple in 1795 during Dutch colonial rule to provide shelter for people offering prayers at the Chinese burial grounds.
The temple serves as a graveyard sanctuary dedicated to Tua Pek Kong, where prayers are conducted for early Chinese traders buried in Bukit China.
The temple stands near the Malacca Warrior Monument and King's Well, making it accessible for visitors exploring multiple historical landmarks in one area.
A stone stele within the temple records how numerous Chinese traders arrived with aspirations but died before achieving success, leaving no descendants for ancestral prayers.
