Cheng Hoon Teng Temple
Catherine seen here infront of the oldest Buddhist temple in Malaysia. Built in 1645 by Kapitan Lee Wei King with building materials imported from China, Cheng Hoon Teng served as the main place of worship for the local Hokkien community. The main hall was built by Kapitan Chan Ki Lock in 1704 and was rebuilt in 1801 by Kapitan China Chua Su Cheong, who contributed to the aesthetic and magnificent structural additions of the building. In 2003, Cheng Hoon Teng was awarded a UNESCO award for outstanding architectural restoration.
