The Historic State Melaka

Melaka is one of Malaysia’s oldest cities. The allure of this seemingly sleepy city is a strength that could be played on. Melaka a soothing and comfort escape from the big city, hides underneath a foundation of its vibrant and eclectic multiculturalism that dates back hundreds of years. Hints of its colonial past and mixing of cultures can be seen throughout, from the Cheng Hoon Teng temple, Malaysia’s oldest Taoist temple, to the Portuguese built A’famosa fort and the Dutch built Christ Church all providing not only glimpses into the past but pieces of the story of how Melaka came into being.
