Malacca (Melaka Bandaraya Bersejarah) is small old town with its rich history and mixed of Chinese and European culture located at the beach of Malaysian peninsula.

Stadthuys is the massive pink town hall, built between 1641-1660 with it Dutch colonial architecture. Today it is used for government office.

Other interesting place are Christ Church, St Paul Church, Church of St Peter, Porta de Santiago was the main gate of the Portuguese fortress of A'Famosa, Portuguese Square, Cheng Hoon Teng Temple.

Masjid Tengkera(Tengkera Mosque) about 160 years old, two kilometre along the road towards Port Dickson, with its typical Sumatran design.

At the Hotel I found they have traditional food which you will never get it in Jakarta, tempoyak(fermented durian), cencalok(permented rice shrimps), this kind of food only popular in Malay ethnic either in Indonesia or Malaysia.
