EXPLORAQUEST MELAKA - CHINESE TEMPLE AT POKOK MANGGA - 8.2.2009

This is the front entrance of the temple. Notice the curve roof design. The temple roofs are curved because Buddhists believed that the shape help ward off evil spirits

The colourful red, yellow and orange colours adorn the shape of the roofs of this temple

Many colourful sculptured ornaments like dragons, orbs and fishes are displayed on the roofs
