Oldest Chinese Temple In Malaysia

#malaysia Cheng Hoon Teng is also known as the oldest Chinese temple in Malaysia use to be a gathering place for early migrants who came over from China. It is located along Jalan Tokong is one of the must-visit places if you love temples. While a lot of poeple come here for both, prayers and tourism, I would recommend you come on a weekday where there is less people. If you come on a weekend, it would be better to come early before 11.00 am to avoid the crowds. The interior may not be fascinating, but the details in the carvings are something to look out for. You can easily visit this place in under 30 minutes and continue your exploration around Jonker Street.
