Amidst traditional Malay village houses, is a Chinese temple with roof edges in striking red in stark contrasting to the green foliage.
Whether it is history or legend, it is said the great Admiral Cheng Ho of China's Ming dynasty sailed through the area in 1414, stopping for fresh water and food supplies. His vessel was believed to have run aground in the middle of the river with slabs of rocks, strong whirlpools and large tree roots. Zaidi says Cheng Ho was believed to have spent some time in the village and won the hearts of locals. Although he was a Muslim, he was well respected by the Chinese.
The temple was built only in 1943 by the Terengganu Chinese Cultural Association in memory of Cheng Ho also known as Sam Poh Kong or San Po Kung, the "Three-Jewel Eunuch". "Pilgrims" pay respect at the temple during Chinese New Year and other special occasions.
