The Cheng Hoon Teng Temple (or Merciful Cloud Temple), originally built in 1646 by Kapitan China Lee Wei King, a fugitive from China, claims to be the oldest Chinese temple in Malaysia.
The Cheng Hoon Teng Temple is also called the Merciful Cloud Temple.
As famous as the mosaics are, the cathedral's beautiful cloister offers a moment of spiritual meditation along the arcades of delicate carved twin chevron-fluted columns and an almost sensual pleasure among the exotic flowers and trees and Arab fountain of its garden.
