Visit to Malacca

Visit to Malacca

Malacca is a historical town about 2.5 hours south of Kuala Lumpur. There are two historical churches, a fort, a replica sailing ship, and a replica sultan's palace. The Indian restaurants are great and not to be missed -- just make sure to drink lots of water (it's spicy!). Also make sure to wander through the Chinese quarter and stop into the shop that makes and sells tiny shoes from the era of footbinding.

Sightseeing in Malacca

1) Bukit China, the vast chinese graveyard surrounding a hillside, provides a fine outlook over the town and the surrounding countryside.

2) In the Old City the bright red Christ Church is the focus of attention amid the adjacent stolid Stadthuys buildings painted in a more sombre shade of pink.

3) From the ruins of St.Paul's Church perched on a hilltop another fine view is gained over the seafront and the reclaimed land complete with new shopping complex.

4) At the foot of St.Paul's a replica traditional-style palace houses the Muzium Budaya cultural museum surrounded by a picturesque flower garden.

5) A somewhat longer walk or bicycle ride out of town is required to view the magnificent new Malacca Mosque.
