Since being listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008, the small city of Malacca has instantly become a must visit destination. In addition to being one of the oldest cities in Malaysia, it also preserves ancient buildings with diverse styles. Colonizers from different countries have left their marks here, walking on the streets of the city as if passing through a time tunnel, full of a sense of history.
Arriving in Malacca, the Strait Mosque is definitely a must visit attraction. It is located on the artificial island of Malacca. Whenever the tide rises, the entire building seems to float on the water, especially when the sunset sets, the afterglow reflects the golden dome, dreamy like being in a fairyland. Every snap is a beautiful photo, guaranteed to blow your Instagram!

There is also a landmark that must be mentioned here - Red House Square. As the name suggests, all buildings are red, including the City Hall and the Christ Church, which were left over from the Dutch colonial period. Walking here feels like instantly returning to the European colonial period hundreds of years ago. There is also a very charming Dutch windmill and Victorian style fountain on the square, which is also a popular check-in spot for web celebrities. Don't miss it if you like to take photos!
It would be a pity not to visit the weekend limited chicken farm cultural street night market in Malacca.

From the fragrant satay to the locally unique durian dessert, every corner is mouth watering. Remember to leave your stomach empty to taste more delicious food!

The cuisine in Malacca is not only delicious, but also a key point to check in. How can you miss the famous seafood restaurant in the area - Dongshengyuan Seafood Restaurant? The cheese shrimp Rice noodles and golden sand fried crab here can definitely make you want to stop eating, especially the golden sand fried crab wrapped with salted egg yolk, which has a strong salty flavor, and you can feel the fresh and sweet crab meat in every mouthful. If you are a durian enthusiast, be sure to taste the durian desserts from Malacca, from durian puffs to durian ice cream, each one is satisfying.
In addition, there is also a local limited edition that must be mentioned - chicken rice, with millet rice balls paired with tender and smooth Hainan chicken. The rice absorbs the aroma of chicken juice, and you will fall in love with it after just one bite. Don't forget to have a bowl of cold "fried pistil" after dinner, which is composed of coconut milk, green Rice noodles and red beans. It is a good companion in summer, and also a must buy food for IG in a limited time.
