[Malacca🇲🇾] A city dyed red❤️

Melaka is a World Heritage city located about 2 hours by bus from Kuala Lumpur.
You may have heard of the Straits of Malacca somewhere before.

It is a city where Western and Chinese cultures mix together, with the red brick area having a Western feel and the city center having a Chinese feel.
We will introduce a day spent in such a wonderful city!

① Dutch Square (photos 1-3)
Speaking of Melaka, this is the place to be!!
It is a very photogenic area with red brick buildings everywhere.
In the square, you can find the Melaka Christ Church and a fountain ⛲️
There is also a statue with the word Malacca written on it, so you can take commemorative photos 📸

The building was gray during the Dutch colonial period, but it was accidentally stained red during the British colonial period, resulting in its current color 😉

② Trishaw (photo 5)
A trishaw decorated with characters on a bicycle.
It is similar to a rickshaw in Japan.
It's pretty surreal to see men rowing trishaws with all kinds of characters at full volume.
It's now a specialty of Malacca 😂
It costs 1,250 yen for an hour.
Please take a ride as a souvenir lol

③ Promenade along the Malacca River (4th photo)
Houses line the Malacca River, giving it an atmosphere like the Venice of Malacca.
There are restaurants and murals here and there along the river, so you can relax.
There are also boat cruises on the river, so I recommend taking a cruise to enjoy the cityscape of Malacca ☺️

④ Malacca Maritime Museum (6th photo)
This impressive museum features a replica of a Portuguese large sailing ship that is said to have sunk in the Straits of Malacca.
It's a popular spot for children.
Of course, you can visit the inside of the ship and the deck.

There are exhibits inside the ship, and you can feel the history of Malacca by looking at trade goods and paper money from that time.
It's a 5-minute walk from Dutch Square, so please stop by.

Malacca has a lot to offer.

Please visit it together with Kuala Lumpur.
