Was Malacca formerly Chinese?

Malacca used to be Chinese.

In a period of history, Malacca was also a dependent state of China, but China did not have the arrogance and unreasonableness of colonialism. Instead, China provided Malacca with economic and material assistance, as well as mutual exchanges of culture and art. Zheng He stopped at 6 places here, bringing navigation technology to Malacca and helping them fight against pirates. Therefore, Malacca still retains admiration for Zheng He.

It is precisely because Malacca has received attention from many countries in history that Malacca today carries diverse cultures. In the past, some buildings related to foreign cultures have become tourist attractions. Here, you can see Western-style churches and Eastern temples, and even Chinese characters can be seen everywhere. Even Chinese-style snacks can be made very similar.

What kind of city is Malacca:

Malacca is not a big city, and the main urban area can only be measured with your feet, which takes half a day. However, nearly seven hundred years and the colonial history of many countries have created Malacca’s rich cultural landscape. The tropical climate and marine geographical environment have integrated Malacca’s garden-like small town style.

Melaka does not have modern grandeur, efficient facilities, and certainly no noise and crowds. Malacca’s old streets and buildings tell stories to everyone who comes here. Coming to Malacca often brings back memories of childhood.
