sam po kong temple (36 photos)

for everyone

this temple was built to respect and commemorate the chinese admiral zeng he/ cheng ho/ sam po thay for his visit in this site at 1405. interestingly this place believed once to be a mosque, since zeng he was a moslem. and until now visitors can see a tomb in islamic style believed to be the tomb of the zeng he's ship captain, including a small prayers chamber or surau (a tiny scale of mosque) surrounding the tomb.

however the original building has been going through several renovations. the biggest one was partially completed in 2005 and still undergoing for minors up to now. visitor can reach this temple by taxi or angkot 'public transport van'. for taxi from simpang lima area for example, will cost you not more then 20.000 rups.
