Malacca Sea Mosque Jalan Pulau Melaka 8, Melaka 75000 Malaysia Daily 09:00~18:30 #Malacca Travel #Malacca Sea Mosque Visitors must wear clothes at the entrance The mosque, which combines Middle Eastern architectural style with Malaysian decorative elements, opened in November 2006 and the 30m minaret is said to also serve as a lighthouse in the sea It was great for taking pictures

#夕阳 The Straits Mosque is a famous check-in spot in recent years. Usually, if you arrive at around 5:30 pm, you can take photos of the bright mosque during the day, the beautiful mosque at dusk🕌, and the mosque with lights on. You can get all three effects at once. If you want to visit the interior of the mosque, you can pay to enter, but the interior is rather monotonous and you can't take pictures from a beautiful angle. 🕌The best place to take pictures of the mosque is the private venue of a nearby grocery store. If you buy a 5-RM drink, you can enter and take pictures for free. There is a different world inside. In order to take beautiful photos, you still have to spend five dollars, and you can also get a bottle of drink, which is also good. I strongly recommend it👍 #100 ways to travel #photo guide of scenic spots #historical monuments #most beautiful mosque #must-see in Malacca

I have turned another page of this world, this book —— Stepping into the historical and geographical Malacca🌊 ✨✨Let's talk about the things to note when going to Malacca: ✅ It is recommended to go on Fridays and weekends, as many shops are open then. Many shops are closed from Monday to Wednesday (we went on Monday and Tuesday and many places were closed) ✅ For taxis, it is suggested to use the AirAsia app, as it offers the cheapest fares. (Malacca is not big, and taxi fares are generally around 6 or 7 Malaysian Ringgit) ✅ You can book bus tickets on the red bus, the bus station is a bit far, so it's advised to allow enough time. (We bought our tickets at the self-service machine at the station when we saw a suitable time, it was not crowded and faster, the manual ticket counter is slower) ✅ Malacca is very safe, we two girls walked back after eating supper after 10 pm without worrying about danger ✅ The people of Malacca are also very nice, whether asking for directions or looking for someone to exchange money at the station, they are very enthusiastic. (I even met a local who directly helped me by giving me money, grateful heart) ✅ Malacca has a Jonker Street night market every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, which is very lively 👉Travel route: Malacca is small, and it's possible to arrange a one-day visit. We wanted to slowly experience Malacca, so we planned two days. DAY1⃣️: City citywalk: Jonker Street➡️Dutch Square➡️St. Paul's Hill➡️Sultanate Palace➡️Church of St. Paul DAY2⃣️: Boat trip on the Malacca River (30 Malaysian Ringgit per person)➡️Malacca Strait Mosque (watch the sunset) 📷Photo spots: 1⃣️Dutch Square Red House: Appreciate the Dutch architectural features, it is recommended to go to the second floor for the best shooting location 2⃣️Church of Saint Paul: Climb the hill from the Red House, about 10-15min, to see the oldest church in Malacca⛪️ and you can also overlook the sea of Malacca from above 3⃣️Jonker Street: In Hokkien, 'Jie Chang Street' is transliterated here as Jonker Street, where you can enjoy coffee, shop around (be cautious as there are many products from Yiwu), 4⃣️Malacca Strait Mosque🕌️: Don't miss this place when you come to Malacca, a good spot to watch the sunset, and also the blue Atlantic 👗👗 Girls can try the local Nyonya costume, which is quite distinctive and highly compatible with Malacca. 40 Malaysian Ringgit per set (all are washed after wearing), if you don't wear a white tank top, you will be asked to buy one. You can go to the Nyonya Museum to take pictures.

Melaka straits mosque is one of beautiful mosques in the World. A unique mosque that appears to float on the sea. You can choose to admire the sea near the mosque or go inside to visit. If you want to go inside, there are dress codes for both men and women. If you don't meet the dress code requirements, you can go to the gate where there is a room that provides jubah and headscarves for free. After visiting, you can return them to the same place. As soon as I entered the mosque, I was struck by the intricate designs and beautiful architecture. The interior of the mosque is adorned with stunning chandeliers, stained glass windows, and elegant calligraphy. It's a good experience, and the surroundings are clean. You can enjoy the sea breeze, watch the sunset, and take some photos. Overall the scenery from the mosque is amazing. ❤️ #mymymemories #awesomepic #bestplace #bestmemory #loveit #best_trip_by_trip #bestdayever #mustgo #mustcome #happytrip

The floating mosque can also be called the Straits Mosque because it is located on the Strait of Malacca. The white buildings set off against the blue sky. The sea and sky are as beautiful as a painting. It is really dreamy. In addition, you must abide by the rules before entering the mosque. According to the regulations, there are robes that you can change into, and you must wear a headscarf and cover your whole body tightly. We came with a group. Thinking about it, it was actually a good idea to go with a group because we were able to visit so many famous landmarks in Malaysia, because the transportation here is not very convenient.

I love the colorful Nanyang style of Malacca | Photographed holy place recommended! said that Malacca has not been to Malaysia. Malacca is the oldest city in the history of Malaysia. In 2008, it was listed by the United Nations as a World Cultural Heritage List, and its status is equivalent to Chiang Mai in Thailand. This trade city with a history of nearly 700 years has always been a place for colonialists because of its good nautical location and abundant spices and other resources. Zheng He went to the Western Ocean seven times and stopped there five times. It is said that the first generation of Chinese followed Zheng He from Malacca to Malaysia, and their descendants were called Nyonya. Because of this historical background, you can see the real Nanyang-style architecture in today's Malacca, and shoot a variety of Nanyang-style movies! Photo location 1[Malacca Strait Mosque] Strait Mosque is a bit far from Jonker Street. It takes about half an hour to take a taxi, but taxis are not willing to take a taxi. If you want to give the driver some money, let them wait at the door, or they can't find the car. The building is very beautiful, the white roof is golden, the multicolored glass, a beautiful building is built in the sea, and it seems to float when the water level is high. Quietly guarding the people here. The mosque was built on the seashore. It is also a maritime mosque. To enter the temple, you need to take off your shoes and wear a robe.

For a lucky day, come to the best strait mosque in Malacca for a sunset. The driver with the wrong way finally sent us here in the moment the sun fell. From sunset to light, this is a long process, and here you can see the best location in the Straits of Malacca. Looking at this white building like a floating building, listening to the sound of the waves, the sky turned from blue to pink and purple, and finally turned into a black sky.

Malacca This is a legendary place, and this strait mosque, floating architecture, is even more fantastic in the sunset of Malacca.

💖 Embarking on a journey with my mom is always a heartwarming and love-filled adventure. When we decided to visit the Malacca Straits Mosque, a dreamy trip began. This destination not only offers breathtaking views but also countless opportunities to capture beautiful moments. Let me share our special journey with you today! Thoughtful Preparations Before setting off, I did plenty of research📖. Knowing that Malacca has a warm climate year-round, I prepared lightweight and breathable clothing for my mom, such as loose cotton dresses and thin sun-protective jackets, which are both comfortable and photogenic. Since we planned to visit the mosque, I also packed long-sleeved tops and pants. My mom thoughtfully chose an elegant scarf that not only met the dress code but also added a touch of grace to our photos. Capturing Stunning Shots at the Mosque The Malacca Straits Mosque is located on a man-made island, and from afar, it looks like a dazzling pearl set upon the sea. Its architecture blends Malay and Middle Eastern styles, with pristine white walls and blue mosaic glass that glisten under the sunlight, exuding a sacred and captivating charm. 🕙 We arrived around 5 PM, which was the perfect time. The sun was at just the right angle, casting a soft, warm glow over the mosque and us, creating a romantic and serene atmosphere. With fewer tourists around, we could fully enjoy the scenery and take stunning photos. 📷 Top Photo Spots: - The Front Pier of the Mosque: This is the ultimate spot for capturing the grandeur of the mosque. With the majestic structure as the backdrop, my mom stood on the pier, her hair gently tousled by the sea breeze, framed by the azure sea and the sacred building. The resulting photos were visually striking, like a beautiful painting. I guided my mom to slightly turn her body and smile softly, capturing her elegance and poise in every shot. - The Rocky Shoreline: Following a small path beside the mosque, we reached the rocky shoreline. The rocks are scattered in a picturesque manner, with waves crashing against them, creating layers of white foam. I had my mom sit on the rocks, facing the sea, with the waves and mosque in the background. The close-up shots captured her radiant smile, blending harmoniously with the stunning natural scenery, making the photos feel full of life and stories. Cultural Experience and Respect for Customs When entering the mosque, we strictly adhered to local cultural etiquette🙏. At the entrance, free robes and headscarves (required for women) were provided. We dressed appropriately to ensure we were respectful. Inside, the mosque was very quiet, and everyone carried a sense of reverence. My mom attentively explored every corner of the architecture, absorbing the solemn and sacred atmosphere of the religious culture. I softly explained some facts and history about the mosque to her, and we were both deeply moved by the profound spiritual ambiance. While taking photos, we were extra cautious not to disturb other worshippers, capturing the solemn and beautiful moments with respect. This journey to the Malacca Straits Mosque with my mom was filled with love and warmth. We not only admired the stunning scenery and took many precious photos but also experienced the local culture together, creating unforgettable memories. If you're considering a special trip with your mom, the Malacca Straits Mosque is a destination that will surely surprise and delight you💕.
