Cheng Hoon Teng Temple, Malacca

the magnificent entrance to the temple
*can u see lil notti monkey there?*
yes Cheng Hoon Teng Temple is the OLDEST functioning temple in Malaysia
constructed in 1645 by Kapitan Lee Wei Keng
materials were flown in....errrr I mean shipped in fr China
all in all...a total of 3 different Kapitans built this temple
and won an award in 2003 fr UNESCO for its beautiful restoration works
oh yea by the way forgot to put a big disclaimer
ALL PICS WERE STOLEN FROM JS
the lion looked surprised O.O
the long beams with chinese words inscripted on it
it's really beautiful
