马六甲日落洞的灵山亭是受西式建筑风格影响的闽南式寺庙建筑。灵山亭的空间序位为山门、院、拜亭和主殿，左右对称。山门面宽单开间，屋顶为硬山单檐式，但檐柱是四方形的特斯坎柱子。拜亭为单开间，屋顶的结构是中式的穿斗式栋架，与梁枋下的特斯坎式柱子形成中西对比。拜亭后为三开间开放式的主殿。主殿架内的柱子回归中式的方形木柱，梁架亦为简单的穿斗式。灵山亭的屋顶简约，不作华丽的灰塑或剪黏，也不见燕尾翘脊，外观拙朴。文思古建公司于2006年受托前往马六甲修复灵山亭屋顶瓦作、梁架、墙灰以及油漆。

Leng San Teng is a Chinese temple in Jelutong, Melaka. It is a Hokkien architecture with some faint Western classical influences. The configuration of the temple spaces is linear and symmetrical and in typical order commonly found in Chinese temples. From the entrance gate, one enters the yard, then the prayer pavilion and finally the main hall. The entrance gate has a single bay and is covered by a gable roof supported by square Tuscan columns. The prayer pavilion is similar to the gate, being spatially defined by four Tuscan columns at its planar vertexes. Its form is exacted by its roof, supported by a pair of Chinese timber trusses that contradicts the style of the columns. Behind the prayer pavilion is the three-bayed main hall. The core structure of the main hall sees a return to the style of Chinese architecture, where columns are those of timber shafts with granite bases. The roof of Leng San Teng has an austere form without the extravagance of stucco works and porcelain shard works or even the very common curved ‘swallow tail’ ridges. In 2006, the committee of Leng San Teng contracted Wensi Heritage to conduct remedial repairs of the temple’s roof finishes, beams, trusses, wall plaster and paint works.
