Baoshan Pavilion was built to commemorate Zheng He, the eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, who went to the West for seven voyages. Built in 1646, this temple is an ancient Chinese temple in Malaysia. There is an inscription in the temple to commemorate the visit of General Zheng He, the ambassador of the Ming Dynasty, to Malacca. Baoshan Pavilion is surrounded by big trees, shaded by trees, very cool and quiet. The gate of the temple is painted with two generals in battle robes and holding swords and axes, majestic and heroic. There is a couplet written on both sides of the doorpost: "Five hundred years ago, the victories were left, and the heroic spirits were displayed in the Quartet." In the temple, there is a military uniform with a sword and a statue of Zheng He, with a banner of "Zheng He San Bao Gong". The roof of the temple is decorated with mysterious animals made of glass and china clay. The decoration in the temple is equally solemn. The main worship hall is dedicated to three altars, one each for Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism. All building materials and craftsmen are imported from China.
