About Malacca

Malacca, only 2 hours' drive from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, is an ancient city with tenacious vitality. After more than 600 years of ups and downs, it was once the first shopping mall on the Maritime Silk Road. However, due to its location in the throat of Malacca Strait, it was colonized by Portugal, the Netherlands, Britain and Japan.

Later, with the independence of Malaysia, the wonderful and diverse culture here has become a historical ancient town that tourists love to visit. 1989 April 15 was listed as Malacca Historical City Day.

Malacca scenic spot

Malacca Christian church

The Christian Church, the nearby Dutch Red Chamber and Museum form the Red Building Iron Triangle, which is a famous landmark in Malacca. This Christian church was built in 1753 and has a history of 266 years. It was originally used to replace St. Paul's church as a place of worship. Later, the British converted it into an English church, added a weather vane and a bell tower in the church, and built a fountain outside the church to celebrate the Queen's birthday.

Although there are no exquisite carvings and stained glass windows in this church, the wooden benches in the church have a history of more than 200 years and are quite exquisite in workmanship. The beams on the ceiling are taken from the single tree church, so all the beams are seamless. In the middle of the semi-circular vault on the altar, the circle of "Jesus' Last Supper" is also well glazed on the brick, and you can feel the solemn atmosphere as soon as you enter.

Stadius, the Netherlands

The Netherlands is the second country to enter Malacca after Portugal. During its reign 154, a large number of Dutch-style buildings were left for Malacca, the most representative of which was the Dutch Red Chamber Square! The Red Chamber Square was the official residence of the Dutch Governor and his entourage at that time, and it was a building built by Dutch bricklayers and carpenters.

It has been converted into the Museum of Malacca History and Culture, displaying the historical relics of Malacca, the traditional wedding clothes of the Wu family in China, and the historical documents left by the Portuguese and the Dutch. Flags and flags of Malacca, Portugal, the Netherlands and Britain are placed in the corridor, which specifically shows the history of Malacca's many changes of ownership, so that visitors can have a deeper understanding of Malacca's background and culture.

St Paul's Church in Malacca

Walking up the stairs next to the Dutch red house, you can see this St. Paul's church, which can be said to witness the historical changes of Malacca. It was founded by the Portuguese in 192 1 year. After the Dutch occupied Malacca from 65438 to 0670, the church was used as a castle. When the British ruled Malacca, it was even stopped as a temporary arsenal. Not only bullet marks of guns can be seen everywhere, but also the roof and interior decoration of the church were destroyed in the battle and have not been seen so far.

St Paul's Church was also used as a graveyard for Dutch nobles. Don't be surprised if you see stone tablets written in Latin and Portuguese here. These are the tombstones of those nobles. In front of the church stands a marble statue of Father San Francesco to commemorate his residence here more than 400 years ago and thank him for his contribution. I suggest you visit it at night, because standing on the high ground of St. Paul's church can not only overlook most of Malacca, but also overlook the Straits of Malacca! If the weather is fine, you can see the sunset!

maritime museum

Go southwest along the Malacca River from Honglou Square, and you can see the maritime museum on the Malacca River in about 10 minutes! Built in the 6th century by a galleon imitating Portugal, this pavilion has become one of the great landmarks of Malacca because of its unique shape. It is said that the ship at that time was named FloraDeLaMar after the demise of Malacca Dynasty. It was loaded with looted property, porcelain and gold statues and was ready to return, but it sank in the Straits of Malacca on the way to Portugal, leaving many legends.

Today, the museum has collected many relics left by Sultanate, Portugal, Netherlands and Britain, such as maps, nautical charts and even old containers. If you want to know more about the history of Malacca, coming here will be very rewarding! Warmly remind everyone that you need to take off your shoes when entering the museum. After the visit, it is recommended to go to the ship deck to see the unique scenery of Malacca.

Sultan Palace in Malacca

It is an imitation of the Malay Chronicle 1456- 1477. Legend has it that it didn't use nails. Made entirely of wood. The palace introduced the historical origin, political system and religious system of the Sultanate of Malacca. It also shows important historical relics and introduces the changes and development of Malacca's imperial dynasty. Buildings with strong Southeast Asian style. Think of the amorous feelings in the movie.

Malacca Strait Mosque

The mosque is a little far from Jonker Street. It takes about half an hour to take a taxi, but taxis are generally unwilling to take it. If you take a taxi, you'd better give the driver more money to wait at the door, or you won't find a car when you go out. This building is very beautiful, with white houses, golden roofs and stained glass. A beautiful building is built in the sea. It seems to float when the water level is high. Silently guarding the people here. The mosque is built by the sea and is also a maritime mosque. You need to take off your shoes and wear robes to visit the temple. Opposite the mosque is the busiest strait of Malacca in the world. You can see ships coming and going in the distance. In fact, 70% of the ships are carrying goods for China.

Special note: please respect the local religious culture and customs and comply with the requirements of local tourists.

Dutch red house, near Portuguese village, you can take bus 17. There is no direct bus to other scenic spots.

Method 2: Take a taxi.

It's easy to see taxis near the scenic spots, but taxis don't hit the meter. The driver casually looked at the guest's quotation, and no matter how close it was, the starting price was RM 20. But if you go to distant scenic spots, such as water mosques, Portuguese villages and so on. Without a bus, it is not easy to take a taxi, and drivers generally don't take it. If you are lucky enough to get a taxi, be sure to let the driver wait there or leave the driver's contact information so that someone can pick you up on the way back.

Mainly concentrated in front of the Dutch Red House Square, the charge price is about RM 20, which is a short-distance sightseeing tool. Every car has different clothes and music. I suggest that students who like taking photos or playing Tik Tok experience it.
