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.

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.

This time, I would like to introduce the Melaka Straits Mosque, a famous tourist spot in Malacca that is also featured in guidebooks.

They lend out hijabs and robes for free near the entrance, so you can have a pseudo-Muslim experience. Men who wear shorts are also lent stylish cloth to wrap around their waists. I am not Muslim, so I was not able to enter the prayer hall, but it was still worth seeing and an unforgettable experience. By the way, the minaret is 30m tall and is also used as a lighthouse, so it is very functional! #overseastraveltactics
