Malacca downtown tour
After 2-hr vip bus and 20-min local bus, I checked in my hostel in Malacca, the capital of the state of Malacca, on the west coast of peninsular Malaysia with a rich historical and cultural background from previous Portuguese, Dutch and British rule. The city centre was listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in July 2008.
I took a long nap to rest from my stomach issue and the 93f hot weather, then toured all the major sites in Malacca, Such as the ruins of St. Paul’s Church at the summit of St. Paul's Hill Built on the site of the last Malaccan sultan’s istana (palace), Christ Church built by the Dutch, Stadthuys (the oldest-surviving Dutch building in the East), Melaka Sultanate Palace (a wooden replica of Sultan Mansur Shah’s 15th-century palace), A’Famosa (the settlement guilt in 1511 used to sprawl across a whole hillside but now only a lone gate remains), Dutch Square Malacca (the most picturesque along Jalan Kota), Masjid Tranquerah (one of the oldest mosques in the country), Malacca Proclamation of Independence Memorial that displays records and photographs on the early history of the Malay Sultanate, etc.
