🌟 A one-day time machine in Malacca: A diary of a small Nanyang town that travels through colonial splendor and Nyonya cuisine 🌿

In one day, I took a RedBus from Kuala Lumpur and jumped into this ancient city of Malacca, which is a "World Cultural Heritage" stamped by UNESCO! This place is like an overturned palette, a mixture of the gorgeousness of Dutch red houses, the colors of Nyonya tiles, the fragrance of Jonker Street, and the Nanyang pace that is so slow that it makes people want to be dazed. 🚌 Transportation strategy: Bus + GRAB seamless integration Departing from TBS station in Kuala Lumpur, the air-conditioned bus booked on RedBus was on time and comfortable (RM10-15 one way, 2 hours journey)💺. After arriving at Malacca Sentral Station, you can directly use Grab to call a taxi to Jonker Street (fare is RM8-10, and it takes 10 minutes to get there), saving time and effort! 📍Dutch Square The first stop was to head to the "oldest Dutch building in Southeast Asia" - the entire brick-red building complex was as beautiful as a postcard under the blue sky! 🏰 Standing in front of the Christian church to take beautiful photos for the internet. 📍St. Paul's Cathedral & Castillo de Santiago Walk through the path behind the Red House and climb up St. Paul's Hill. The bullet-riddled walls of the ruined church tell the story of war. At the foot of the mountain, there is only a lonely archway left of the ancient city gate of San Diego, but it is a must-take photo spot for Instagram! 📍Chicken Rice Legend I randomly found a chicken rice stall. The chicken rice was shaped like mini ping-pong balls, super cute, and dipped in tender white chicken and secret chili sauce. When I took a bite - the sweet chicken fat exploded in my mouth! With sour plum juice, it costs RM15 per person and you will be full until you roll your eyes 📌 One-day highlights route Dutch Square→Jonker Street #MalaccaLazyBag #ColonialStyle #NyonyaFood #PoorTravelParadise #AprilDestinations2025 #trip
