My wonderful 3D2N Melaka Trip!
#malaysiatrip
My 3D2N trip to Melaka itinerary guide, Eat, See & Do in Melaka:
1. Discover Melaka’s Riverside Street Art and historical building. Walking by the riverbank in the morning or evening time, or else joins the river cruise. A memorable experience to soak in the history and quaint streets in Melaka!
2. Melaka has an interesting colonial history, you can still see some of the beautiful colonizers’ architectural remnants in the city, such as St. Paul’s Church by the Portuguese and the Red Square by Dutch, which includes the iconic red-painted Christ Church and Stadhuys. Not forgetting the fasinated Jonker Street!
3. The ethnic groups in Melaka compose of Chinese, Indians, Malays, and Peranakans (mixed ethnicities, usually of Chinese & Malay descent), plus Kristangs (mixed ethnicities of Portuguese & Indian/Malay descent). This diversity is clearly reflected in the Malaccan food scene, absolutely a food heaven for foodies!
Once you arrive in Melaka, almost everything can be done on foot as all the main landmarks are within walking distance of each other. For those sights that are further away (such as Melaka Straits Mosque or Portuguese Settlement), just jump on a trishaw for an authentic Malacca experience, cycle by bike, or take a Grab taxi.

Listen to advice! Finish reading this article before you go to Malacca, and attach photo spots
I have turned another page of this world, this book
—— Stepping into the historical and geographical Malacca🌊
✨✨Let's talk about the things to note when going to Malacca:
✅ It is recommended to go on Fridays and weekends, as many shops are open then. Many shops are closed from Monday to Wednesday (we went on Monday and Tuesday and many places were closed)
✅ For taxis, it is suggested to use the AirAsia app, as it offers the cheapest fares. (Malacca is not big, and taxi fares are generally around 6 or 7 Malaysian Ringgit)
✅ You can book bus tickets on the red bus, the bus station is a bit far, so it's advised to allow enough time. (We bought our tickets at the self-service machine at the station when we saw a suitable time, it was not crowded and faster, the manual ticket counter is slower)
✅ Malacca is very safe, we two girls walked back after eating supper after 10 pm without worrying about danger
✅ The people of Malacca are also very nice, whether asking for directions or looking for someone to exchange money at the station, they are very enthusiastic. (I even met a local who directly helped me by giving me money, grateful heart)
✅ Malacca has a Jonker Street night market every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, which is very lively
👉Travel route:
Malacca is small, and it's possible to arrange a one-day visit. We wanted to slowly experience Malacca, so we planned two days.
DAY1⃣️: City citywalk: Jonker Street➡️Dutch Square➡️St. Paul's Hill➡️Sultanate Palace➡️Church of St. Paul
DAY2⃣️: Boat trip on the Malacca River (30 Malaysian Ringgit per person)➡️Malacca Strait Mosque (watch the sunset)
📷Photo spots:
1⃣️Dutch Square Red House: Appreciate the Dutch architectural features, it is recommended to go to the second floor for the best shooting location
2⃣️Church of Saint Paul: Climb the hill from the Red House, about 10-15min, to see the oldest church in Malacca⛪️ and you can also overlook the sea of Malacca from above
3⃣️Jonker Street: In Hokkien, 'Jie Chang Street' is transliterated here as Jonker Street, where you can enjoy coffee, shop around (be cautious as there are many products from Yiwu),
4⃣️Malacca Strait Mosque🕌️: Don't miss this place when you come to Malacca, a good spot to watch the sunset, and also the blue Atlantic
👗👗
Girls can try the local Nyonya costume, which is quite distinctive and highly compatible with Malacca. 40 Malaysian Ringgit per set (all are washed after wearing), if you don't wear a white tank top, you will be asked to buy one. You can go to the Nyonya Museum to take pictures.

Colourful and Vibrant Night Market
Jonker Walk is in the Chinatown area in Malacca. It starts from across Malacca River and the street is filled with historical houses along its left and right sides. Many of which are shops selling antiques, textiles, foods, handicrafts and souvenirs such as keychains and shirts.
Jonker Walk turns into a night market every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 6 p.m. until 12 midnight. Dont worry about safety as its street blocked for traffic.
There are a huge range of wonderful things to buy and eat here.

Food such as coconut ice-cream, curried fish balls, pineapple tart and steamed buns can be found here. There are so many things to do and eat at Jonker Street Night Market.
We found many stalls at Jonker Street Night Market selling very unique gifts that we’ve not seen before in any other night market in south east Asia and we would say Jonker Street is definitely one of our favourites.

Jonker Walk World Heritage Park
#fallishere
Jonker Walk World Heritage park is a park found along jonker Walk and this park is especially dedicated to Dr Gan Boon Leong, who's named the father of all body builders in Malaysia. You will see a manly sculpture of him, along with other Iron sculptures there within the park. It's a relatively small park and you can explore it within 5 minutes. I would say it's still a nice park to just see and look what's it all about, otherwise there's nothing much to shout about.

There is free entry. Excited to see childhood character - Mamee monster! Though it is just a souvenir shop selling Mamee monster merchandise. Surprisingly found out there is a workshop on 2nd floor. Fun experience especially if you have young children. A bit pricey, but worth doing for the first time.You will see how the snack is made. There is also a restaurant inside the shop with plenty of food.

Lunch @ Old Day Old Taste
Visited the place on 29th Dec. Ordered chicken rice, of which both rice and chicken are tasteless and we needed to add a lot of chili sauce. The Yong Tau Fu is just meh, not recommended. Otak and vegetables is acceptable if the vegetables is less salty.
The tables and chairs are oily. Even the menu also oily. Everything was handled by foreign workers which is rare in Jonker Street. Staffs were unattentive, pay upon order.
The overall set up is nice as it has an olden days feel.

Sunday morning easy walk
Today I had an easy walk in the morning. It is really walking distant. It is a must visit street if you go to Malacca, you can see all kinds of shops, restaurants, souvenirs, maybe one or two temples. It is hot to walk in the days but in the night, it is a nice place to hangout. There are a few drinking bars, cheap yet comfortable. There is a hardrock cafe in front of Jonker Street

Jonker Walk Night Market
Explore the Jonker Street Night Market when you travel to Malacca City. It is one of the top attractions to visit in Malacca.Official name of Jonker Street is Jalan Hang Jebat although the latter is rarely used by most commoners.
The best part of Jonker Street is the night market on Fridays and Saturdays that sells everything from tasty treats to cheap keepsakes. The street is blocked for traffic and turns into night market.
Graze on barbecued quail eggs and kuih (sticky-rice sweets) as you squeeze between souvenir and T-shirt stalls, pausing to watch the occasional Chinese karaoke performance.

Come to Malacca to eat and eat! It feels more expensive than Penang, especially in the scenic spot. The legendary Jonker Street is ten or twenty blocks, and the consumption level is quite high! Chicken rice is not too delicious, but I feel that the brand of Nyonya cooking at the evening is not bad. Not only the food is sufficient, the vegetables are self-service, and the drinks can be refilled. It can be said that it is very cost-effective! The traditional ice products of Nyonya are also worth a try! Cooling away from thirst, it is comparable to four fruit soup!

As a Malaysian, You Changjing was asked on the show: If you want to travel to Malaysia, where would you recommend it to everyone? As a full-fledged foodie, You Changjing first recommended to everyone that it is Chicken Soup Street. This street full of food and fun is really a foodie. When it comes to this, Chang Changjings eyes are shining.
It is said that the name of Jonker Street evolved from the "street street" of Fujian dialect, because the pronunciation of "street field" and "chicken field" is the same. Over time, there is an interesting "street street". first name. Today, this ancient street, which is closely related to Zheng He's voyages to the Western Ocean more than 600 years ago, has become a famous prosperous cultural tourist attraction.
Jingchang Street has a lot of special snacks. Visitors here, especially Chinese tourists, will not miss every exquisite food with a strong hometown flavor: chicken succulent chicken rice noodles; nourishing body band Bak Kut Teh with Chinese medicinal taste; Nyonya dish with a strong taste, sour, sweet, spicy and pungent taste. If you have enough appetite and eat all the way, you will find that you can stop eating.

Malacca One-Day Tour: Sam Po Temple, Jonker Street, and The Stadthuys, Perfect for Weekend Evenings
Malacca, located at the strategic entrance of the Malacca Strait, is an ancient port city. According to legend, the Sumatran prince Parameswara established the Malacca Sultanate here, leading to its prosperity. Historically, Malacca has played a significant role, serving as the center for various empires on the Malay Peninsula, including the Malacca Sultanate, Portuguese, Dutch, and British. The remnants and architecture of these empires still exist today, offering tourists a deep insight into Malacca's long history. Malacca was also a spice trade center in the region, earning it the nickname 'Venice of the East.' Additionally, Malacca is recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage City for its historical significance, reports, and cuisine, shining with historical brilliance and rich craftsmanship.
1. Sam Po Temple (Bao Shan Ting)
Located at the foot of Sam Po Hill, Sam Po Temple is a must-see attraction in Malacca. It is said to be the first stop of Zheng He's voyages to the West! According to legend, Zheng He exchanged local specialties with porcelain, gold, silver, and copper items he brought along, engaging in peaceful trade with diplomats. In 1795, to commemorate Zheng He, local Chinese and residents built a temple named Sam Po Temple at the site of his landing. Although the temple is not large, its unique architectural style is definitely worth a visit!
2. Jonker Walk Street
A trip to Malacca is incomplete without visiting Jonker Walk Street for shopping! During the day, you can stroll through this alley full of historical stories, and on weekend nights, it transforms into Jonker Walk Night Market. Remember, the night market is only open from Friday to Sunday evenings! The street features many Chinese buildings reminiscent of the style in Taipei's Dadaocheng, with narrow but deep structures. The buildings are generally divided into three sections: front, middle, and back, with a courtyard in the middle. Many shops sell food and antiques, making it a paradise for those who love such items!
3. The Stadthuys Complex
The most eye-catching historical site in Malacca is undoubtedly The Stadthuys! On your way from Malacca Station to Jonker Street, you will see the striking red building. Built between 1641 and 1660, The Stadthuys now houses the Malacca History Museum, the Ethnography Museum, and the Literature Museum! Outside the square, there is a Victoria Fountain and a clock tower of the same color. This red color is referred to as Malacca Red by the state government.

—After crossing the border from Singapore to Johor Bahru, we headed to the historical Malacca from our textbooks. A special thanks to an Indian guy who helped us pay for the bus to Johor Bahru station when we didn't have any Malaysian Ringgit to get on the bus 🙏🏻. At the station, we almost couldn't buy tickets for the bus to Malacca, but a Singaporean auntie helped us and even treated us to coffee☕ and a chat. It's heartwarming to feel the kindness of strangers when you're away from home.

-Malacca is really chill. It's not really suitable for a one-day citywalk. Just taking a leisurely stroll along the river is nice, but many delicious restaurants close in the afternoon, so remember to check the time.
————🗺️Recommended Attractions🗺️————
✅Jonker Street——Lively night market on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings.
✅Dutch Square——Great for photo ops.
✅Malacca River——Take a river cruise, and you can drink by the riverside at night, very chill.
✅Baba & Nyonya Heritage Museum——Experience Southeast Asian culture, note that it's closed on Mondays.

The Culinary Wanderer
A day trip to Malacca is too rushed!
When you come to Malaysia, you must go to Malacca. I thought Malacca was just a check-in for landmark buildings such as the Dutch Red House, but I didn't expect it to be very lively, with night markets, cruise ships, and coffee shops by the small river. It's a whole place for petty bourgeoisie.
Itinerary:
Take the bus from Kuala Lumpur, the one-way fare is 10-15RM, the journey is about 1.5-2 hours, it is recommended to buy the return ticket when you go to Malacca for a day trip.
Kuala Lumpur-Malacca: Buy tickets at TBS station, choose Melaka as the terminal.
Malacca-Kuala Lumpur: Buy tickets at Malacca Central Station, choose TBS as the terminal.
Take a Grab from Malacca station to Chicken Farm Street, simply stroll around this street and come back to this street to visit the night market in the evening. It is recommended to come on weekends, the night market is super lively, with all kinds of food stalls and small stalls selling trinkets.
Take photos at the Dutch Red House, which is a landmark building in Malacca. Walk along this street of the Dutch Red House, go up to the top of the mountain, and you will see St. Diego Castle. At the foot of the mountain is the Sultan's Palace.
Take a Grab to the Strait Mosque, blow the sea breeze by the sea, watch the sunset, take a taxi back to Chicken Farm Street to visit the night market, and sit in the Bar by the river is very comfortable.
Tips: We took the bus to Malacca at 11:00, arrived at Chicken Farm Street at 13:30, started shopping, and took the bus back to Kuala Lumpur at 21:30. The last bus back to Kuala Lumpur is 23:30. Malacca·Central County
