Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

There is no admission fee for visiting / there is incenses burning pot / altar for offerings / worshipping Chinese god for health/ fortune/ success .

This temple is on the street that runs parallel to the more famous Jonker Street.
It is well used by local residents, and is a living temple, as well as having some tourists visit.
The architecture is traditional and worth seeing, especially for the details on the alters, the doors, and the roof.
If you are interested in traditional architecture and temples, this is well worth seeing.

About 700 years old and still offer blessing to the Chinese populace in Melaka and visitors. Most crowded during Chinese New Year. Adjunct temple and opera stage in the surrounding add to visitation more complete. The history of Melaka dates back to about the same number of years.

Located on Jonker Street, Cheng Hoon Teng is a Chinese temple and one of the most notable landmarks in Malacca. It’s the oldest functioning temple in the country. I visited in afternoon times and it was quiet so I could roam around and read all the write up’s which gave me a brief about the temple history.

Check out the temple on Harmony street.
Pretty flowers and a nice bonsai tree garden.
Small and very old.
It is on a nice street to stroll.

The temple was apparently built in 1641 made from materials shipped out from China. It is the oldest Chinese temple in the country. There are fine works or workmanship which is evident in the ornately decorated mythological figures, carvings and lacquer work inside the temple, Also makes for interesting photography.

If your walking the streets of Melaka then it's worth dropping in. It will take you about 10mins to look around and there is no charge.

Atmospheric temple in the middle of Melaka's Chinatown. Go down Jalan Tukan Emas and it is on your left as it turns a corner to become Jalan Tokong. Easily spotted by the two tall red flagpoles. Once inside, you are transported to another age. Deep red and black wood, a monk in his gold robe banging a drum and the smell of incense. This is the oldest temple in Malaysia, built 1645 for the Chinese Hokkien community. Cross the street to Xiang Lin Si Temple and go to its upper level for a great photo op over this temple.

A beautiful Chinese temple. I like the architecture. A popular place for tourists, but a lot of locals go there for prayers still. You can go to the first floor of another (new built) temple opposite the road and take a picture of Cheng Hoong Teng from there...

This is the oldest Buddhist temple in Malaysia. It's really beautiful, costs nothing to get into, and if you're around at 4 pm there is a service that goes for about half an hour. Well worth the visit.
