Cheng Hoon Teng

Cheng Hoon Teng is a premier historical monument that has survived the ravages of time. It was founded in the 1600s by the Chinese Kapitan Tay Kie Kialias Tay Hong Yong.

In its early years, besides serving the community’s religious needs, the temple also functioned as the official administrative centre and a court of justice for the Kapitans.
