About Cheng Hoon Teng Temple

Cheng Hoon Teng, the Temple of Green Cloud, is described as the oldest functioning Chinese temple in Malaysia. It follows the three teachings of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, and its front hall is richly carved and painted.

It stands on Jalan Tokong, part of the stretch nicknamed Harmony Street because a temple, a mosque and a Hindu temple sit within a short walk of each other. Worshippers come and go all day; keep to the sides and do not photograph people praying.
