Met a young Dutch couple in Cheng Hoon Teng temple yesterday 22/2/2012.That was the 1st day of the 2nd Lunar month so there were many locals there offering prayers at this oldest Chinese temple in Malaysia.I informed them that on 1st and 15th days of each Lunar month more worshippers come to the temple.The other busy times are Chinese New Year and also festivities of deities.Cheng Hoon Teng means the Temple of Green Clouds.There is a Confucius tablet behind the right side arch leading to a small courtyard garden encircling the back of the temple.
The street is named Temple Street also known as Harmony Street as there is a mosque and a hindu temple located to the right of the temple facing out from the temple main door.You will need to walk a little down the street.
Some pictures here to share for their benefit.And if they wanted to see a Buddhist temple in Malacca town ,it is along Jln Gajah Berang -Seck Kia Eenh.Cheng Hoon Teng is one of the many Taoist temples here.
