🌟 Highlights of My Trip:
1. A Famosa Fortress Ruins 🏰
Standing before the ancient Portuguese gate was like touching history! Perfect photo spot and super atmospheric.

This place is a sensory overload! From satay sticks and cendol to quirky souvenirs and local crafts – I could spend hours here!

So relaxing and beautiful, especially in the evening with all the colorful lights along the riverbanks.
4. Dutch Square & Christ Church ⛪️
The iconic red buildings make you feel like you're in Europe! The square is lively with trishaws blasting pop music and covered in LED lights!
5. Baba & Nyonya Heritage Museum 🏡
A fascinating look into Peranakan culture and family life – the details inside the home were amazing!
