A state that we should be proud of due to the rich history that is buried within it. This place used to be a place where the whites fight to conquer because of its strategic position in terms of geography which allows it to prosper through trading.
It is listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO which means that the old buildings cannot be demolished and must retain the design to preserve history. Now, Malacca is a tourist area and to my surprise as i have just found out that it is Singaporean's favourite hang out spot. In fact, some restaurants plan their off days based on Singaporean's school holidays. For instance, when our M'sian school are having holidays, they take their rest as well to prepare their themselves for the hard work when the Singaporean crowd arrives.
Arrived there in the afternoon,
Was crowded like mad because coincidentally the Singaporeans schools were off as well. Started the tour by getting lost in the city to know the place really well.
First stop,
Bukit Cina
Went to the Royal Well where Hang Li Poh, a princess from China used it as a source of water. Now it is not usable and caged up..
Second stop,
Jonker Street
This was where I got to try the famous balls. This is a famous delicacy in this region and of course there are many ball makers in town. In fact, there is even a competition of eating balls! Chicken rice balls you perv..
After lunch, took a walk around the area..
The famous red building
Rickshaw
Will update more about the trip.. Await for Part 2!
