Malacca | A colorful Southeast Asian city

| A colorful small town in Southeast Asia.
Malacca is the oldest ancient city in Malaysia, so if you want to understand Malaysian culture, you must go to the world cultural heritage "Malacca". Measure the old city of Nanyang with your footsteps. A city needs to be savored slowly, immersed in its soul, and travel through history. Here you can find traditional Malay, Chinese, Indian and Nyonya cuisine. While enjoying the nightlife and food, you can also feel the local market style.

✅The Red House in the Netherlands

The Dutch Red House is an architectural relic left over from the Dutch colonial period in Malacca. Located on the banks of the Malacca River, it was built between 1641 and 1660 and is the oldest surviving Dutch building in Southeast Asia. Here you can understand the integration process of Malacca's multi-ethnic cultures. The most distinctive means of transportation in Malacca is the gorgeous three-wheeled float. The colors are rich, and at first glance you'd think you've entered a fantasy world. The pink color scheme is very girly.

The theme of each float is very interesting, such as Hello Kitty, Doraemon, Pikachu, Minions, Frozen, etc. The driver of each float will judge your nationality and play exciting songs in the corresponding language. It is really fun.

✅Jock Street

It is a place where Chinese culture, local indigenous culture, Western culture, etc. blend, and it has a history of more than 300 years. There are many antique shops, entertainment centers, restaurants and local specialty shops on the street. Both sides of the road are lined with two-story old-style houses with an ancient flavor. There are also many Fujian Guild Halls and Guangdong Guild Halls overseas Chinese group buildings, which are a symbol of the cohesion of the Nanyang overseas Chinese group.

✅Baba's House

Living in Baba House Melaka in the ancient city, the descendants of intermarriage between Chinese and Malays are called Baba for males and Nyonya for females. The hotel is renovated from several connected old houses, with a European exterior and Chinese interior. The space design maintains the original style of the old house while incorporating rich Chinese folk houses and Baba Nyonya decorative elements. The Dutch ballast bricks, dusty wells, and huge murals of old life in Malacca are all worth savoring. The Nanyang culture, which is derived from the interaction between traditional Chinese and Western aesthetics, is fully displayed here.
