These two historical places are part of my selection visit to Malacca. There are many interesting places that bring many tourists around the world to come over, but I chose these two as a must visit in Malacca, Malaysia. First of all, let me introduce Dr Gan Boon Leong, a local hero from Malacca representing Malaysia body builder where he is gaining the prestige title as Mr Universe, Mr Asia, Mr Malaysia and Mr Melaka respectively. Due to his achievement, he was honored the title as Datuk Wira. His metal sculpture statue was display at the main entrance in house at Jonker Walk. Boon Leong, popularly known as “Mr Strong”, was Malaysia’s “father of bodybuilding” and former state MCA chief. Born in 1937 - 2022. Secondly, introducing one of the oldest Buddhist Temples in Malacca well known to locals for its 2002 UNESCO Asia Pacific Heritage Awards. This Merits Award was honored to Cheng Hoon Teng Temple in Malacca city. Location : 25, Jalan Tokong, Kampung Dua, 75200 Melaka, Malaysia

#malaka I must say that if anyone come to Malacca especially to go to Jonker Street, one must not miss to visit this place; Jonker Walk World Heritage Park or Taman Warisan Dunia Jonker Walk ! 🤩 👉🏻 There is an iconic statue flexing muscle which is statue of Datuk Wira Gan Boon Leong, the prominent ex body-builder in Malaysia. He was the Chairman of Jonker Walk whereby was entrusted by the State government to preserve tradition and promoting culture of multiracial living in Jonker street although most were Chinese and Baba Nyonya descendants. 👉🏻 The park was well maintained, clean, have gardens and a nice ambience. It was also recognized by UNESCO as the World Heritage Park. ✅ Worth for a short visit! Must drop by after hassling through the crowds in Jonker street at night. #awesomepic #travel #explore #mytrip #malaysia #malaccacity #jonker #jonkerwalk #explorer

Greeted by a lot of street foods in Jonker Walk,#malaka #Jonker after having a lot of walk from St John hill to museum penjara and all the way towards here before heading to Ibis Hotel. The trip was amazing within more than 8 hours upon arrival. Its a very nice place to discover or can be said as food street heaven. Greeted with malay kueh in entrance, bought egg 3 for RM 20 (I regretted it 🥲), passed by souvenir and other shops. This place remind me of night market in Hongkong and Petaling in KL. This place can be said as Malaka Chinatown. Worth to discover? YES! for street food adventure.

#malaka Visit The Orangutan House in Jonker street of Malacca. The original Orangutan house is a gallery and workshop of a talented artist Charles Cham. In this quirky shop and gallery, you can find variety of artist selling their unique items such as local designed t-shirt, Orangutan face painting, trinkets and keychain as souvenirs, and many other adorable merchandise. This quirky shop and gallery is nearby the main Jonker street and you can also stroll along the Malacca river and street arts nearby.

WE LOVE COMING TO MELAKA FOR A HOLIDAY AND EVERY TIME WE COME TO MELAKA, WE WILL NEVER MISS JONKER WALK NIGHT MARKET. WE WOULD EITHER TAKE A COLOURFUL LIGHTED TRISHAW TO JONKER WALK OR JUST WALK BY THE SIDE OF MELAKA RIVER. I PERSONALLY LOVE TAKING A WALK BY THE RIVERSIDE FROM THE HOTEL AS THE RIVER IS BEAUTIFUL WITH COLOURFUL LIGHTS ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT WHEN THE LIGHTS COME ALIVE. FURTHERMORE, THE RIVER ITSELF IS CLEAN. IF WE ARE TIRED FROM WALKING, WE CAN SIT ON ONE OF THE BENCHES OR JUST LEPAK AT ONE OF THE CAFES SIPPING DRINKS WHILE LOOKING AT THE PASSERSBY. UPON ENTERING JONKER WALK, WE WILL BE GREETED BY A STALL SELLING COCONUT WATER/JUICE TO COCONUT SHAKE. YOU COULD FIND FRIDGE MAGNETS,SOUVENIRS, SNACKS, HATS, TOYS, DRINKS, FOODS AND VARIOUS OTHERS BEING SOLD HERE. THE NIGHT MARKET WILL BE CLOSED BY 10.30PM. BEFORE LEAVING, WE TRIED THE PANIPURI, THE DESSERT AND THE ASAM PEDAS WHICH ARE NOT BAD. IN SHORT, OUR TRIP TO JONKER WALK NIGHT MARKET IS WORTH TO REMEBER! #spooktaculartrip#tripblazers#awesomepic#deliciousfood#foodie#urbanexplorer#summervacation#mytripvlog

A popular place to visit in melacca is the junker Street in melaka, Malaysia located at Jalan Hang Jebat, 75200 Melaka. You will notice if you go in the daylight and after sunset the difference, as during the day this place is crowded with cars and people at times there will even be a traffic jam due to the narrow one way streets of jonker. But in the night its a whole new different story. If you do want to take nice photos of the architectural structure without cars and the people, definitely recommended to go at night. It's peace and quiet accept when the jonker night mark opens on weekends. You will be able to see the Chinese architectures mixed with pernanakan influence dating all the way back to the 17th centuries. Also, don't forget to try one of these chendol stores that open late, I can't really remember the name but it's one of the very few stores that stays open. #celebratewithtrip #jonkerstreet #melaka #malaysia #historical #culturalwalk #architecture

Right in the heart of Malacca’s vibrant heritage district, Old Shop Jonker Street is a nostalgic wonderland for souvenir lovers. The moment I stepped inside, I was surrounded by rows of colorful trinkets, vintage-inspired keepsakes, handcrafted accessories, and uniquely Malaccan memorabilia that instantly sparked curiosity. What makes this shop special is its charming old-school vibe. The wooden shelves, retro décor, and tightly packed displays create that classic Jonker Street shopping experience — slightly chaotic, incredibly fun, and full of surprises. Every corner hides something interesting, from Peranakan-inspired items to quirky magnets and traditional snacks that make perfect gifts for friends and family. It’s the kind of place where you walk in for “just a quick look” and end up spending much longer than expected, discovering treasures you didn’t know you needed. Whether you’re searching for authentic souvenirs or simply enjoying the lively atmosphere of Jonker Street, Old Shop captures the playful, cultural spirit of Malacca in the most delightful way. #winterescape

✈️ Don't hesitate to spend a day or more in a city known as an open-air museum. Yes, it's Malacca (Melaka)! A city where history walks the streets, is reflected in the canals, and gazes down at you from its ancient walls. If you only have a day, no problem. Here's a tried-and-true itinerary of must-see attractions: The heart of the city: Dutch Square (photos 1-3). It's also called Red Square, and you'll understand why as soon as you see it. Start your day right here, at Malacca's most photogenic spot. The red-orange colonial buildings from the 17th and 18th centuries will make you forget you're in Asia. Key attractions: The bright terracotta building is the former residence of the Dutch governors, now the Museum of History and Ethnography (Stadthuys). Be sure to stop by to experience Malacca's complex cultural cocktail. In general, be prepared to encounter museums at every turn. · Christ Church: The oldest Protestant church in Malaysia (1753). · Queen Victoria Fountain (photo 3) and the Windmill: Symbols of the British period. It's best to arrive here around 8-9 am to see the square without the crowds of tourists and in the soft light. Malacca is a unique place where, in a single spot, you'll encounter traces of several colonial eras. 1. Portuguese Heritage (1511-1641): · Fort A'Famosa (Porta de Santiago): Of the mighty fortress built by Albuquerque, only the gate remains. But it bears silent witness to fierce battles. Touch the rough stones, which are almost 500 years old! 2. Dutch Heritage (1641-1824): This is the same Red Square. But to truly appreciate its beauty, climb the stairs to St. Paul's Hill behind Fort A'Famosa. There, you'll find the ruins of St. Paul's Church (1521), where St. Francis Xavier was temporarily buried. You can see ancient tombstones there, and the observation deck offers stunning views of the city (photos 4-5). 3. British Heritage (1824-1957): Besides the fountain, take note of the surrounding architecture. The British brought their own style to the administrative buildings. Baba Nyonya Heritage Museum: Although this is not a colonial building but the home of a wealthy Chinese family, it showcases the era when Malacca was under British control and the local Chinese elite adopted Western manners, creating a unique culture of Chinese intermarriage with the locals – the Peranakan culture. The soul of the city is the Malacca River embankment and Chinatown. After the midday heat, head down to the river. A stroll along the embankment is a journey through an open-air art installation. The walls of the buildings along the river are painted with vibrant murals telling the stories of the city. Cafes, bridges, and lush greenery create a very atmospheric setting. And, of course, be sure to take a boat ride on the river. Jeti Taman Rempah is the pier from which boats depart for river cruises; the journey lasts about 40 minutes. (Photos 6-13) · Chinatown and Jonker Street (Jalan Hang Jebat): In the evening, the main street turns into a night market with souvenirs, antiques, street food, and live music. Be sure to try the chicken rice balls, laksa, and chendol! Visit the Cheng Hoon Teng Temple, the oldest Chinese temple in Malaysia (photos 14-18). Also, stroll the city streets. Visit an old wooden ship. It's an exact replica of the Portuguese galleon "Flor de la Mar," which sank in the Strait of Malacca in the early 16th century, just nine years after its construction due to the greed of its owner, who overloaded the ship with looted valuables. The ship houses the Maritime Museum. We had a suitcase, and they kindly allowed us to leave our belongings at the museum entrance under the watchful eye of security cameras. The ticket is inexpensive and allows you to visit three museums: one inside the ship, one to the right, and one directly across the road. All the museums are worth visiting, but we liked the one inside the ship the most. (Photo 20) Food Tour or What to Try in Malacca? Malaccan cuisine is history on a plate. Chicken Rice Balls: A legendary dish. Rice formed into balls is served with juicy chicken. Laksa Malacca: Different from Penang, made with coconut milk and topped with shrimp paste (heko). Satay Celup: Ramenbu-style skewers that you dip into a shared, simmering pot of peanut sauce. Cendol & Gula Melaka: A relief from the heat. A sweet dessert with coconut milk, palm sugar (gula melaka), and green rice noodles. We love cendol and try it everywhere in Malaysia. Malacca is a city where one civilization wrote over another. In one day, you'll see a Portuguese fort, a Dutch square, British monuments, Chinese temples, and Malay markets. You don't need to search for history here—you'll walk through it. Wear comfortable shoes, bring water, sunscreen, and be prepared to travel between eras in just a few steps. 🚌 ✅️How to get from Kuala Lumpur to Malacca: You have two key starting points. Choose the one that's most convenient. Option A: From KLIA / KLIA2 Airport (the most direct route). This is the best option if you're arriving and want to go straight to Malacca, bypassing the capital (we did this because we arrived in Kuala Lumpur in the middle of the night and didn't want to book a hotel for a couple of hours, wasting time and money). The bus departs directly from the building opposite KLIA Terminal 1 (you can take the shuttle bus from Terminal 2). You can buy a ticket on the spot, but it's better to buy it in advance and know the location. You'll need to exit Terminal 1 on the ground floor and cross the road to Building C. Intercity buses in Malaysia are a true joy; you can get a good night's sleep in a comfortable chair just as well as in a hotel. You can buy a ticket at the ticket office or book online. It's best to buy roundtrip tickets at once to avoid worrying about availability on the return journey, especially on weekends. Popular and reliable carriers: Mayang Sari, Transnasional, KKKL. 🪄 Ticket price: 15-35 MYR (more expensive from the airport than from the bus station). 🪄 Travel time: ~2-2.5 hours. 🪄 Final stop in Malacca: Melaka Sentral (central bus station). Option B: · From Bersepadu Selatan Bus Station (TBS) If you're already in the city, the easiest way is to go straight to TBS (for example, by taxi/Grab or LRT to Bandar Tasik Selatan station). This is the departure point for all buses. Tickets can be purchased on-site at the ticket office or at the terminal, or booked online. ✅️What to do once you arrive at Melaka Sentral Bus Station: You're in Malacca! But the bus station is 5 km from the historic center. · The best way to get to the center (Chinatown, Dutch Square): Call a Grab. This will cost 5-10 MYR and take 10-15 minutes. · Alternative: Local bus #17 (Panorama Melaka). It's cheap, but takes longer, and you need to wait and know your stop. ✅️How do I get back from Malacca to Kuala Lumpur? The same steps, but in reverse. 1. To the bus station: From your hotel/city center, call Grab to Melaka Sentral. 2. Buy tickets: At the bus station, go to the row of ticket counters. Find the desired carrier (like Mayang Sari or others) and buy a ticket to Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS) in Kuala Lumpur. ❗️❗️❗️ If you're going directly to KLIA/KLIA2 airport, buy a ticket to the airport! Many carriers offer direct flights (look for "KLIA" in the schedule). This will save you time and effort. The cost will be slightly higher, ~20-35 MYR. 3. Upon arrival at TBS: If your final destination is in the city, take a taxi/Grab or go to Bandar Tasik Selatan (BTS), from where you can take a KTM Komuter or taxi to KL Sentral or your hotel. If you purchased a direct ticket to the airport, you will be taken directly to the terminal. 🕑Schedule: Buses run from early morning (6:00-7:00 AM) until late evening (9:00-10:00 PM), with departures every 15-30 minutes. ⌨️ Online booking: You can buy tickets through the Easybook or RedBus apps. Very convenient, especially during the high season. Only accepts Visa, MasterCard, or Alipay for Chinese ID holders. · On the bus: Bring a sweater or blanket—the air conditioning is on full blast! · In Malacca: Don't waste time on local buses from Melaka Sentral. Grab is your best bet. And it's great to stroll around the city center and watch others ride in red pedicabs—it's a whole other experience, complete with music! Bottom Line: The road is comfortable, inexpensive, and well-maintained. Plan on about 4 hours for the entire transfer (including travel to TBS and from Melaka Sentral). Have a great trip to the city with incredible cuisine and atmosphere! Malacca is worth it! 🌏 #Malacca #Melaka #Malaysia #TravelMalaysia #DutchSquare #JonkerStreet #ColonialHistory

Was there for a work event. Jonker street is a nice place to see heritage attractions and taste local delights. Shopping for clothes like batik is reasonably priced. However street parking starts to fill up by 10 am. There are paid parking around the area (RM 10 for 3 hours). Be prepared to bring an umbrella if you are not used to the hot sun. Favourite cafes to check out are The Daily Fix and Butter.

📅 Itinerary Day1：Checkin hotel. At night we went dinner at The Grand Tomyam Seafood. Day2: Night walk at Jonker street of Malacca Day3: Checkout hotel 🏨 Accommodation: Tamara Hotel 🍴 Food Recommendations: Lots of foods can find at Malacca you can name it. Famous is Asam Pedas Malacca. 📌

Went for a 2D1N trip to Malacca for a quick getaway, and it was the perfect short escape 🇲🇾✨ Even though the trip was short, it felt just right — slow mornings, easy walks, and plenty of good food in between. Malacca has a laid-back charm that makes you want to take your time, wander around without rushing, and just enjoy the simple things. One of the highlights was trying BUNGA RAYA POPIAH. The popiah was fresh, flavourful, and packed generously with ingredients — simple, comforting, and definitely worth the stop. It’s the kind of local snack that reminds you why food is such a big part of travelling. We also visited Nimmies, a cosy spot to take a break and unwind. It was a nice change of pace from walking around under the sun, and a good place to sit down, relax, and just enjoy the moment before continuing the day. We also stayed at Hatten Hotel which was amazing! A short 2D1N trip, but it was enough to recharge and reset. Left Malacca feeling refreshed and satisfied — a great option for a quick getaway, and definitely somewhere I’d visit again 🌿🚗✨ #StreetFoodLover #malacca

Jonker walk is a must visit, it is filled with historical shophouse and cultural heritage. At night it transforms into a bustling night market filled with street food and vibrant energy on the weekends. 😆🫶🥰#melaka #jonkerwalk

Early morning at Jonker Street, Melaka, hits different! 😎 Went searching for breakfast and the whole street was basically still snoozing at 8:30am—only a handful of shops dared to open so early. Spotted the super-packed queue at Mama’s Place (so viral!), but with patience running low (and tummies growling), decided to flex to CDSR Jonker, an old-school coffee shop packed with classic vibes. CDSR Jonker totally delivered! The croissant was sooo good, served on a cute red and white checkered napkin. And if you’re into simple breakfasts and vintage feels, this is your spot. We even found a little candy next to our bread—small joys that just hit right in Melaka. 🙌 Jonker Street is honestly super laid back in the mornings, way different from the usual hustle. If you’re “caricari makan” (food hunting), best to come a bit later unless you like that slow, peaceful vibe. But if you’re up early, make sure to check out CDSR Jonker at: CDSR Jonker Coffee Shop Address: 94, Jalan Hang Jebat, Jonker Street, Melaka Opening hours: 7:30am–5:00pm (subject to change—peep trip.com for deets!) Perfect spot for #relaxing_time and #niceambience. Local food adventures FTW! 🥐☕

Exploring Malaka: Riverfront Vibes, Jonker Street + A Hidden Hill 🌿✨ If you ever wondered what a day in Malaka could look like, this is your sign to go! Kick things off with an early walk down Jonker Street (open 10am–8pm, best before crowds), Malaka’s historic heart packed with quirky shops and street snacks. My top hack: Go in the morning—less chaos, more local color! Next up, hit the riverside for a chill stroll. The river walk is perfect post-rain (bring a small umbrella, the weather can flip fast 🌧️), especially if you love snapping moody city photos. Feeling energetic? Light hike up Malaka Hill (Bukit Melawa Park, 10am–6pm, Jln Kota, Malacca) is totally doable! You’ll get green views, cool stone walls, and epic cultural landscape shots (think lush trees + historic ruins). Trust me, rain makes the green pop for Insta! 🌱 Pro tip: On your way down Malaka Hill, grab breakfast at one of the riverfront cafes nearby—most open by 8:30am. Think kaya toast, kopi, and friendly staff. Budget about RM15 per person. Get Around: Walk! Everything’s close—Jonker, riverfront, and Bukit Melawa. Or grab a Grab (local taxi app) if you want chill rides. Eat/Drink: Don’t skip local kopitiam brunch, and for dinner, check out Capitol Satay or Pak Putra’s famous tandoori chicken (Jonker area). #MalakaWalk #Riverfront #BukitMelawa #StreetEats #SoutheastAsia #ExploreMalaka ##SabzWander

#malaccaguide Melaka will always be a meaningful place to me because it’s where my husband and I first met. It didn’t happen during some big dramatic moment — it was just the two of us taking a slow walk along the Melaka River. The soft evening lights reflecting on the water, the little cafés playing music, and the gentle breeze made everything feel calm and timeless. That simple walk became one of those memories we still talk about today. As we continued strolling, we eventually found ourselves heading toward Jonker Street. The change in energy still makes me smile — from a peaceful riverside to a bustling night market filled with colour and life. Weekends at Jonker feel like a mini festival. Street food sizzling everywhere, uncles singing, tourists taking photos, and stalls selling all kinds of cute crafts. We squeezed through the crowds, shared snacks, and laughed the whole way. It was loud, chaotic, and somehow incredibly romantic. One thing I love about Melaka is the Peranakan heritage, and renting Nyonya clothes here is such a fun experience. The boutiques along Jonker offer beautiful kebaya sets with delicate embroidery, and wearing them instantly makes you feel part of Melaka’s rich culture. It’s perfect for photos at heritage spots or just for the experience itself. If you’ve never tried it, I’d highly recommend it — the colours and designs are stunning. If you’re visiting for a day, here’s a simple itinerary that captures the best of Melaka: One-Day Melaka Itinerary • 9:00 AM — Dutch Square Photos at the iconic red buildings, Christ Church, and the clock tower. • 9:45 AM — St. Paul’s Hill Walk up to enjoy the view and explore the old church ruins. • 11:00 AM — A Famosa Visit one of Southeast Asia’s oldest surviving European structures. • 12:00 PM — Lunch near Jonker Choose a café with river views for a relaxing break. • 1:30 PM — Melaka River Walk or River Cruise A peaceful way to enjoy the murals and heritage shophouses. • 3:00 PM — Nyonya Kebaya Rental Rent Peranakan outfits and take photos around Jonker or Heeren Street. • 4:30 PM — Explore Jonker shops Boutiques, antiques, snacks, and handcrafted souvenirs. • 6:00 PM onwards — Jonker Street Night Market Dinner, street food tasting, and soaking in the lively weekend vibe. Melaka may be small, but it’s filled with charm, culture, and memories — including the moment our story quietly began by the river.

#hellohalloween #jomcuti Exploring Jonker Street in Malacca is an absolute must if you love lively vibes and cultural color! 🏮✨ This historic spot beats with energy—think red lanterns overhead, stunning Chinese architecture, and endless street eats. Top Spot to Visit: Jonker Street (Jalan Hang Jebat) Open: Most vibrant from Friday–Sunday evenings (night market typically 6pm-12am) Location: Right in Malacca’s old town core, easily walkable from Dutch Square Get ready to stroll past quirky art, chill cafés, and rows of vibrant shophouses. My fave tip? Start at the street near the iconic statue (you’ll know it when you see it!) for the best photo ops—red lanterns above and heritage buildings all around make every snapshot pop, especially on a sunny day. 🌅Food Rec: You can’t miss a bowl of Nyonya laksa or the legendary chicken rice balls—look for roadside stalls with long local queues, that’s always a good sign! Refuel with shaved ice desserts if it’s hot. 🍧 🚗 Getting Around: Jonker Street itself is super walkable, but try to come early before night crowds peak. If you’re traveling around Malacca, Grab app taxis are reliable and cheap. Bring cash for market shopping and small stalls. 🌟Key Tips: Take a portable fan if you’re sensitive to heat—summers get sticky! Protect your wallet: keep it close in bustling street areas. Most attractions and markets accept Malaysian Ringgit only. Whether you’re craving local eats or Insta-perfect shots, Jonker Street lights up every evening for travelers and locals alike. #MalaccaVibes #JonkerStreetWalk #StreetFoodFinds

📖 Just spent a short weekend in Melaka City with my small family — a perfect getaway to explore Malaysia’s historical gem while enjoying some fun family time! 🏛️ Exploring the Heritage Streets From the iconic Stadthuys and A Famosa Fort to the colorful Jonker Street, every corner tells a story.

#malaccaguide One of my favorite moments in Malacca was stumbling into The Daily Fix after a morning of exploring. The café’s mix of vintage décor, leafy plants, and warm lighting felt like stepping into a calm, hidden retreat. I ordered an iced coffee and found a spot in the courtyard-style seating area. The gentle buzz of conversation and the smell of freshly brewed coffee made it easy to just relax and enjoy the moment. What made it even more special was the little retail section inside – racks of clothes, handmade accessories, and shelves filled with local treats. It felt like part café, part mini boutique. I loved browsing while sipping my drink, finding unique souvenirs that reminded me of Malacca’s creative side. Definitely a place I’d revisit in a heartbeat.

#summervacay There are many old shops along Melaka Street. Some of them used to be where the Baba and nonya stayed. They have now turned into shophouses. Some of them are selling local products whereas some have turned into fashion shops. There are also some cafes and restaurants which were transformed from those shophouses too. Do try out their local cuisine here and you might like them.

#malaccaguide During my walk along CityWalk in Malacca, I loved how colourful murals and heritage vibes brightened up the streets. It felt like an open-air gallery where every corner called for a photo stop. The lively energy of Jonker Street nearby made the whole area even more exciting. After exploring, I stopped by LULALA at Jonker Street for a refreshing treat. Their creative drinks and desserts were perfect for cooling down in the Malacca heat. A mix of art, heritage, and sweet flavours made this one of my favourite stops.

#malaccaguide Walking into the Art Flea Market on Jonker Street felt like stepping into a creative wonderland. From handcrafted lamps to quirky wooden animal figurines, every corner had something unique to admire. It’s the perfect stop if you’re hunting for souvenirs or decorative pieces with a personal touch. The atmosphere felt warm and inviting—ideal for a slow, mindful browse.

#malaccaguide Having just return from Melaka's vibrant embrace of culture and culinary charm, it's an absolute must-visit when one decides to visit Malaysia. This UNESCO World Heritage city is a unique tapestry woven from a melting pot of architectures, from its iconic red Dutch buildings and ancient A'Famosa fortress to the charming shophouses of Jonker Street. Besides the beautiful visuals, Melaka is a culinary wonder for one’s tummy. Indulge in Peranakan cuisine, savor the unique chicken rice balls, and cool down from the Melakan heat with a refreshing Klebang coconut shake. Once the sun sets, go on a Melaka River Cruise to not only view the historic landmarks but also learn about the diverse cultural heritage, namely Peranakan, Chinese, Malay, and Indian. Melaka isn't just a destination; it's an experiential journey for the senses, where a 3 days 2 nights trip would be of a comfortable pace.
