Old Town

A busy bridge back in the town square ushers visitors into the old city center of Malacca. The stree ts where the Dutch rulers once lived have been renamed to honor a Malay hero (Jalan Hang Jebat) and a Baba capitalist (Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock). The old town has some of the best preserved relics of Straits architecture, such as the Hotel Puri, the Baba House, the Coconut House Studio, Hokkien Huay Kuan, Eng Yong Tong and the grand dame, Baba and Nonya Heritage Museum. From a religious viewpoint, the city has much to offer. Just take your pick from the Cheng Hoon Teng Temple, Kampong Kling Mosque, the Sri Poyyat ha Ninayagar Moorthi Temple, and the Malacca Sikh Temple. Malacca's many faiths provide a big attraction for tourists who want to experience this unique diversity for themselves. The peaks of Bukit Cina offer breathtaking views of the Malaccan geography. Thankfully these sacred grounds have been preserved over the years and make a splendid venue for jogging, mountain bike riding, or quiet reflection. Ming-style resting places, which showcase the intricacy of Chinese grave design and ornamentation, are found along the crests of the rolling hills. Or perhaps you want to toss a coin and make a wish at Hang Li Poh's Well at the foot of the hill, or head for the sacred effigy of Admiral Zheng He waiting next door in the Sam Poh Kong Temple. Seeing all of these places is possible within a relatively small area.
