Malacca day 2
Since my stomach appeared to be recovered, my 2nd day in Malacca started with sticky rice with meat wrapped in lotus leaf in a dim sin place, and toured the Kampung Hulu Mosque (which design is cross between Sumatran, Chinese, Hindu, and the Melaka Malay), the old Chinatown, the Little India, the king’s Well, and hiked up the Bukit China.
King's Well - Legends have it that Hang Liu was a Chinese princess from the Ming dynasty who was sent to Malacca to wed Sultan Mansor Shah in the 15th century when the Malacca Sultanate was at its zenith. She had 500 followers who were all settled on Bukit China and got their water from the Well.
Bukit China is a large Chinese cemetery outside of mainland China. Graves here go back to the late Ming dynasty (mid 17th century), but unfortunately many graves were exhumed during the British occupation of Malaysia.
After my lunch of rice balls chicken and an expensive durian popsicle on the Jonker street, I strolled down the other direction of theMelaka River along a boardwalk and past a number of sheek looking houses decorated with large paintings.
