    It's the oldest Chinese temple in Malaysia, built 1646 for commemorating the visit of Admiral Cheng Ho [that's why called Cheng Hoon Teng. In Chinese lingo in my country, klenteng ~ teng ~ means temple]. And the original name of this temple: Evergreen Clouds.

    Cheng Hoon Teng Temple
    by mansionion
    Cheng Hoon Teng Temple (Bright Cloud Temple) was built in 1646 and is the oldest functioning temple in Malaysia. It is said that the prayer rituals perform in the temple have been practised in Melaka since the Chinese settled here.

    The temple was built as a tribute to the Goddess of Mercy, Kwan Yin and is devoted equally to the three doctrines of Confucianism, Toism and Chinese-Budhism. The materials for its construction were specially brought in from China. Fine workmanship is evident in the ornately decorated mythological figures, carvings and lacquer work inside the 4,600 sq. meters temple.

    Situated in Jalan Tokong, the temple together with the neighbouring Masjid Kampung Kling and and Sri Poyatha Venayaga Moorthi Temple form part of the "street of harmony", a symbolic exemple of racial and religous tolerent that have long been in existence in the country.

    The temple is located at Jalan Tokong, the temple street. Choose the road on your left hand side when you reached the performances stage. On your left is the temple street and on your right is the jonker walk.

    As so often happens to me in Asia, I tend to get 'templed out.' I know this doesn't happen to everyone, but temples all begin to become a blur. It's not an insult to the religion, more my failure to distinguish among sublties of styles, I think.

    However, the Cheng Hoon Teng temple was different. Don't ask me why, because I'm not exactly sure, but it probably had something to do with how old it was, how nice the carvings were, the the general feeling of well-being I had there.

    It's a great place to stop when touring the multicultural city of Melaka.
