Cheng Hoon Teng temple — include in half day?

Fit it same morning — oldest functioning Chinese temple in Malaysia, 5 min walk from Jonker, free entry donation welcome. 20–30 min respectful walk-through incense and courtyards. Pairs with heritage loop before lunch. Shoes off main hall. Less crowded 8–9am. Skip interior if you're museum-maxed — exterior gate still photogenic. Balances Dutch colonial with Chinese Melaka story.
