Tourism Icons of Melaka
Melaka was founded by Parameswara, a prince of Sumatra, Indonesia at 1396. He was fleeing his country when he chanced upon a shady tree, named Melaka, along the coast of Peninsular Malaysia. As he rested, he saw a mousedeer fighting with a dog, and the dog lost. He liked the place and decided to make it his new home. He named the place, Melaka, after the tree. In the 15th century, Melaka quickly developed into a prosperous trading port and soon became an Empire. Due to its rapid growth, the Straits became a waterway filled with activities. Trading ships from all over the world passed by this busy port-of-call. Gold, silk, spices, tobacco and tea leaves were among the goods traded in this port. Heroes and legends thrived at the height of the Melaka Empire. Among them were the wise Sultan Mansur Shah, the intelligent and knowledgeable Minister, Tun Perak, and the heroic warrior, Hang Tuah. Melaka also came under the rule of the Portuguese, the Dutch and the British before it became part of the Federation of Malaya in 1956. The richness of its heritage and culture is captured in every street and building in the state. On 7th, July 2008, Melaka historical core district has been included in UNESCO World Heritage City list.
The North-South Highway that connects the northern tip to the southern end of Peninsular Malaysia enables one to drive to Melaka without hassle, not matter if one is coming down south from Kuala Lumpur or going up north from Singapore. Visitors can also take the bus or the taxi (some of which are on call on a 24 hour basis) to Melaka. In Melaka town, bus, taxi and trishaw make moving around Melaka convenient and easy.
The State of Melaka is under rapid economic growth and development. Tourism is the mainstay of the state’s economy. In addition, Melaka has attract quite a number of investors - both local and foreign - to develop the state’s designated light industrial areas. The modern Melaka, with its thriving tourism and manufacturing industries, boasts of many contemporary buildings and shopping centres.
Among the many interesting sites and places in Melaka, A’Famosa stands out as the major historical landmark. Built by the Portuguese in the 16th century as protection against the Dutch naval force, it is a site that should not be missed by visitors to Melaka. The gate that visitors see today has survived countless years of damage brought to it by wars and natural erosion, a change process that is witnessed by a solitude cannon that still stands in front of the gate today.
Melaka is famous for having many churches that were built decades ago. The St. Paul’s Church was built in 1521 by a Portuguese general called Duartecoelho, this is one of the oldest Catholic churches in Malaysia. It was named St. Paul’s Church after the Dutch conquered Melaka. When construction of the St Paul’s Church was completed, this building was then changed into a mausoleum.
The Sultanate Palace built according to the 15th century Malay architecture (made popular during the reign of Sultan Mansur Shah) now houses the Melaka Cultural Museum. The original palace had earlier been damaged and was not occupied nor used. The wooden replica of the Palace that visitors see today serves as a reminder of the golden years of the Melaka Sultanate, a time when Melaka established good relationship with China and a time when sultans ruled Melaka. It was during that time when sultans and their armies used the foot of St Paul’s Hill as their base and command post. This strategic location provided a good view of the Straits of Melaka (and of the ships passing by).
This glamorous palace, situated on the mid slope of the hill, once stood majestically as it welcomed foreign dignitaries. However, in 1511 when the Portuguese attacked Melaka, the palace was destroyed. Taking its place as the main and important building in Melaka then was the fort A’Famosa. The gate of the fort, which stood beside the palace, marked the power of the foreign intruder - the Portuguese. The gate then went on to witness the 500-year history of Melaka’s colonial era.
The museum is constructed after the Portuguese ship, “Flora De La Mar”. According to historical records, the Portuguese ship sank off the coast Melaka on its way to Portugal on 26th January 1512.
Located at Jalan Quayside, the exhibits in the Maritime Museum tell of Melaka’s maritime history that spans over seven generations. The exhibits are grouped into the following categories: the era of the famed Melaka Sultanate in the 14th and 15th centuries, the Portuguese era (1511- 1641), the Dutch era (1641 - 1795), the British colonial era (1795 - 1957) and from Independence (1957) until today.

2 THE STADHUYS COMPLEX红屋广场
Built in 1650, The Stadthuys is another Dutch construction that one can find in the city of Melaka. It was originally built as the official residence for the Dutch Governors and their officers. With wooden doors that are beautiful and sturdy, stonewalls that are elegant yet strong, steel door bolts that are delicate yet robust, one will be amazed by the carpentry and bricklaying skills of the Dutch.
However, today only one room remains. The ceiling of this room is decorated with 17th century woodcarvings that depict flowers. Today, the Stadthuys is the Historical Museum of Melaka. On display are Portuguese and Dutch memorabilia, in addition to the many exquisite Malay and Chinese traditional costumes. A visit to this museum is like walking down the historical path of Melaka.
The clock tower was erected in 1886 by the Tan family using a clock imported from England. In 1982, the old clock was replaced by a new one and it is still functioning to date. The tower is located next to Queen Victoria Fountain in Dutch Square.
The Cheng HoCultural Museum occupies the original Guan Chang or government depot, which was built by Admiral Cheng Ho (Zheng He), the Ming Grand Eunuch. His mighty fleet of several hundred ships sailed seven times to the Western Seas from China to Africa over the period, 1405-1433. His fleet visited over 33 countries in the Pacific and Indian Ocean. His voyages took place over half a century before Colombus discovered America.
The site of Guan Chang originally covers approximately 10 acres of lowlying land along the northern banks of the Melaka river opposite the Malay Sultanate palace. The present museum occupies 8 units of old shophoues, some were built before 1786. The museum’s total floor area is about 55,000 square feet, the largest museum in Melaka.
The concept of the Museum adopts a non-conventional and immersive approach. It’s design employs multimedia, interactive and hands-on techniques and presents a historical perspective. The museum serves to provide an educational experience for both adults and children.
A long time ago, the Dutch ruled the south-western Malaysian port of Melaka. The people who lived on one of the streets there prospered. The street then became known as the “Street of the Affluent”. It was Jonker Street. Today this historic street is officially known as Jalan Hang Jebat and it has evolved into one that is interesting and intriguing. Jonker Street has become a haven for antique collectors and bargain hunters. Often, traders and tourists would fill the street slowing down traffic. The rich cultural heritage of the Baba and Nyonya can still be clearly visible on the walls and pillars of the buildings. These pre-colonial and colonial buildings boast of walls and pillars that are engraved with intricate carvings. Being one of the most popular and busiest parts of Melaka, a myriad of cafes and souvenir shops have mushroomed. The beauty of Melaka, in particular, and Malaysia in general, is that such encroachment of the new usually leads to a colourful and exciting blend of the old and contemporary.
The Melaka State Government, capitalising on the popularity of the street, had innovatively promoted the concept of “Jonker Walk”. In the evenings of Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays (time: 6.00pm to 12.00 midnight), traders would line their stalls along the street selling their wares. One could easily find what one needs from the variety of souvenirs, traditional handicrafts or arts and cultural items, with local and ethnic types of food that are on sale. The street, abuzz with tourists and locals, blends naturally into the rich heritage of the “ancient” surroundings making a visit to Jonker Street an unforgettable experience.
Jalan Tukang Besi, loosely translated, means the Street of Blacksmiths. However, the road is known to many as Harmony Street. As the name suggests, there is a harmony of religious places of worship along and around the street. In this vicinity, there is a mosque, a Hindu shrine and a Chinese temple – all miraculously situated close to one another.
This is Malaysia’s oldest Chinese temple. Built in 1645, it covers an area of 4,600 sq metres. The roof edge has mythological figures and animals made of ceramic shards, skilfully “cut” by artisan. The Goddess of Mercy, Guan Yin, is the main image here followed by the goddess Tian Hou, guardian of seafarers, who occupies the left section of the temple. There are three doctrinal systems in this temple, namely Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism.
One of the oldest mosques in Malaysia, the Kampung Kling Mosque has Sumatran and Javanese architecture influences. Built in 1748, it features a three-tiered roof rising like a pyramid and a beautifully carved wooden ceiling. The mosque is unique as it has an odd minaret that is structured like a pagoda, reflecting a blend of Eastern and Western architectures. During the month of Safar of the Muslim calendar, worshippers congregate at this mosque to conduct the “Safar Bath” ritual.
这是一座拥有多层屋顶的回教堂,也是马来西亚其中一间最古老的回教堂之一。建于 1748 年,其辽望台式的尖塔,明显地深受苏门答腊及爪哇建筑风格的影响。此处是穆斯林与回历 SAFAR 月份,举行“ SAFAR 浴”节庆的主要地点。
Kampung Kling Mosque甘榜吉宁回教堂
Located at the junction of Jalan Hang Kasturi and Jalan Tukang Emas, the Sri Poyyatha Vinayagar Moorthi temple is a beautiful manifestation of Indian culture and religion. One of the first Hindu temples to be built in the country (around 1781), it was raised on a plot of land given to the Hindus by the Dutch.
坐落在 Jalan Hang Kasturi 及 Jalan Tukang Emas 交叉处的 Sri Poyyatha Vinagar Moorthi 庙宇将印度文化及宗教特色呈现出来。它是马来西亚其中一间最古老的兴都教庙宇,于 1781 年建于荷兰政府所给予的土地上。

The Chinese who migrated here during the height of the Melaka Sultanate later married the locals, adapted much of the Malay culture into theirs. After a few generations, their culture blended with the locals and evolved into the Baba and Nyonya heritage. Thus, these descendants are also known as the Straits Born or Straits Chinese. Located at Jalan Tan Cheng Lock is the first private cultural museum.
