【Malacca|Photography in Nyonya Clothing】

[Malacca Seventh Stop|Photographing in Nyonya Clothing]

I had already chosen the colors, thought about the poses, and was ready to rent Nyonya clothes to take a retro photo, but then - it suddenly started raining!

I had no choice but to give in to my "occupational disease" and do some location scouting and pre-shooting for my future fashion trip.
Although I didn’t get to wear the gorgeous Nyonya costume this time, I have already secretly planned: “I must bring YoYo along to take the photo next time!”

Jenny has compiled some must-see spots in Malacca for your reference if you are planning a trip:

■ Sanshugong Nyonya Cultural Center: Nyonya clothing rental + beautiful architectural background, travel through a century in a second
■ Jonker Street: Night market food + retro street view, delicious and photogenic
■ Stadthuys: The landmark red wall, wearing Nyonya clothes here will be a bonus
■ Qingyun Pavilion: One of the oldest Chinese temples in Southeast Asia, rich in cultural heritage
■ Malacca Riverside: The atmosphere is very romantic after the lights are turned on at night, and it is very touching to take a walk or take a boat ride
■ Holland Square Ferris Wheel: A fusion of retro and modern, a great place to take photos of the night scene



Jenny's private attractions recommendation|Malacca's popular check-in spots • Chen Jinfu 👍🏻
Almost everyone who has traveled to Malacca recently will check in at this specialty store located on Jonker Street - "Chen Jinfu"!

The overall decoration is full of Nanyang retro style. From the signboard to the wall, every detail is very attentive!
The store has three floors. In addition to being a great place to shop and take photos, you can also buy local specialties and souvenirs, and even have a meal and take a break in the store.

When you come to Malacca, don’t miss this super delicious check-in spot!

📍Tan Kim Hock

Travel doesn’t have to be perfect.
Having a little regret will give you more motivation to try again.
This time it didn't work out.
It also makes me look forward to holding YoYo’s hand next time, wearing Nyonya clothes together, and being photographed together.
