What travelers say:

Came on May 2, 2013. This Sanbao Temple is an important local Chinese cultural attraction. It is rumored that Zheng He was stationed here after landing in Malacca. The Sanbao Temple was built to commemorate Zheng He's trip to Malacca. The Chinese who came to Malacca later lived here, and the Sanbao Mountain behind the Sanbao Temple was the Chinese cemetery, becoming a tomb mountain. It is said that Sanbao Mountain is the largest Chinese tomb mountain overseas. The Sanbao Temple is a typical Chinese cultural building, and the shape is similar to our domestic similar buildings. It is more interesting that although the Sanbao Temple was built to commemorate Zheng He, it is a Taoist view. The main hall is dedicated to the "Uncle Gong" (Malay Chinese call the land public). Zheng He is a Muslim, so his altar is in the garden outside the temple. The back hall of the Sanbao Temple also has a wall, which is covered with Chinese newspaper reports about the Chinese defending the Sanbao Temple and Sanbao Mountain. I also suggest you pay attention. In the era of limited influence in the motherland, Malay overseas Chinese have carried out many hard struggles to safeguard their culture and rights, and this history and this spirit deserves all Chinese to remember.
