Why Visit The World Heritage Town Of Malacca

May 28, 2018

 

Malacca Town developed over more than five centuries of trading and cultural exchanges between East and West. It is listed under the UNESCO World Heritage, and the historic urban center illustrates centuries of social and trade transactions between East and West. The 15th-century Malay state controlled by the Portuguese and Dutch. The residential and commercial buildings of Malacca reflect the cultural and architectural contributions of the local Malays as well as the immigrants.  One must visit the city to understand its historic colonial features and look at the exceptional example of multi-cultural trading towns. Plan your trip and make a booking at a suitable hotel in Malacca for your stay.

When it comes to lodging and accommodation, Malacca doesn’t disappoint you as it has an array of options right from the budget holiday to expensive ones. Hatten Hotel Melaka is a popular choice among the holidaymakers because it is close to well-preserved landmarks and the restaurants and cafes. This is a fantastic place for a retreat and boasts of comfortable rooms and professions series.

One must visit Malacca to capitalize on its fascinating history. It is no surprise to see the Modern Melaka attracting visitors from all across the world, who come here to see the heritage architecture, enjoy the famously glitzy trishaws and experience the bustling night market. Apart from that, there are forests, farmland, and beaches to explore. Take advantage of those family-friendly attractions in the smaller towns nearby.

  • Explore Zheng He Duo Yun Zuan, the impressive gallery that faces the Melaka River. Exhibitions focus mainly on Chinese arts and culture and are funded by the Shanghai-based auction house.
  • Visit the Masjid Selat Melaka, which looks particularly beautiful during morning or dusk light. Look at the gold-domed mosque perched on an artificial island. A bicycle pedal or a short taxi ride from Melaka City will take you to the mosque that was completed in 2006. You will love the grand archways of the mosque which are paneled with stained glass.
  • St Paul’s Church overlooks central Melaka, and the faded sanctuary was built in 1921 by a Portuguese captain. A marble statue of St Francis Xavier stands in the front of the ruin. The Saint visited the church regularly, and his body was temporarily interred here following his death in China. The church was also used as a lighthouse and a storehouse.
  • Stadthuys is a favorite trishaw pick-up spot in Malacca. The cerise-colored Stadthuys is the oldest Dutch building in the East and was a former town hall and governor’s residence. Today it’s a museum complex and showcases colorful artifacts and the history of Malacca.
  • It is a must to visit the Maritime Museum & Naval Museum that will take you on a voyage through Melaka’s maritime history. The most exciting part of the museum is the massive re-creation of a Portuguese ship, the Flor de la Mar that sank off the coast of Melaka. You can pose on the deck of the ship and clamber between floors.
  • Bukit China is another favorite tourist spot and includes thousands of graves over it’s the 25 grassy hectares. When Sultan of Melaka married the Ming emperor’s daughter from China during the 15th century, she brought with her 500 handmaidens. Those handmaidens settled around Bukit China and had created a Chinese area in Malacca ever since.
  • Villa Sentosa is another historic building in Melaka City. The village of Kampung Morten here is like a living museum. The charming Malay village welcomes its visitors and guests who take a look at the period objects, photographs of family members, Ming dynasty ceramics and even a century-old Quran.
