Cape Rachado Lighthouse is considered the oldest lighthouse in Malaysia. It stands on the famous Port Dickson beach, located about 100 meters inland on the hilltop of Tanjung Tuan, surrounded by woodland. Its history dates back to the 16th century during the Portuguese rule of Malacca. The Portuguese established the site after capturing Malacca in 1511, and the lighthouse was initially built to guide their ships through the strait. The current lighthouse was rebuilt in 1863, consisting of a 24-meter high circular tower with a lantern and balcony. Another tower, completed in 1990, was constructed with reinforced concrete to monitor ship traffic in the Strait of Malacca and assist communication at the top of the structure. This makes the lighthouse an ideal spot for bird watching. Access to the lighthouse is only possible by walking up the stairs: a spiral staircase with 72 steps and a stone staircase located behind the lighthouse, which is a convenient path to the lighthouse. Transportation: It takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes from Kuala Lumpur. If you take the train to Seremban station, it takes about 40 minutes by car rental or taxi.

The Turtle Conservation and Information Centre in Padang Kemunting is an essential facility dedicated to protecting sea turtles and raising awareness about their conservation. Located in Malaysia, this centre is a key player in the effort to safeguard sea turtles, which are increasingly threatened by human activities. One exciting way to experience the centre’s work is through a tour. These tours provide a unique opportunity to see sea turtles in their natural habitat and learn about their conservation firsthand. During the tour, visitors can explore the centre’s exhibits, which offer insights into the life cycles of sea turtles, their species, and the threats they face. Visitors may have the chance to see the turtle hatcheries where eggs are carefully protected until they hatch. After the baby turtles are born, they are released into the ocean as part of the centre’s efforts to boost their survival rates. These tours not only highlight the centre’s conservation efforts but also allow visitors to witness the beauty and importance of sea turtles in their natural environment. #islandtours

In a little village in Malacca called Machap Baru, there lies a petite little street within the residential area where the villagers decorated it with red lanterns and peach blossom flowers to enhance the mood of Chinese New Year. The whole stretch is covered with lots of lanterns leading from the main road to a small alley, whereby there is a replica of seats underneath the plum blossom tree decorated with colourful lights. The kindness and hospitable residence within the street makes the entire event happened and thanks to their hospitality, many visitors are able to witness such nice atmosphere of Chinese New Year. #newyearadventure

As Malaysia’s oldest lighthouse, it stands as a sentinel over the Straits of Malacca, surrounded by lush greenery and accessible via a shaded uphill trail that winds through tropical forest. While the lighthouse itself is not open to the public, the surrounding area provides scenic viewpoints and a peaceful atmosphere, perfect for birdwatching or simply soaking in the sea breeze. The journey to the top is part of the charm, with the sounds of wildlife and rustling leaves accompanying each step. For those seeking a mix of light adventure and historical intrigue, Cape Rachado Lighthouse is a rewarding destination that captures the quiet majesty of Malaysia’s coastal heritage.

#portdicksonguide Cape Rachado Lighthouse is the oldest lighthouse in Malaysia and a must-visit for history buffs and nature lovers alike. Located within a forest reserve, reaching the lighthouse requires a moderate hike, but the panoramic ocean view from the top is well worth it. Along the way, you might spot monkeys, birds, and even hornbills. This area is also a prime spot for birdwatching during migratory seasons. The blend of colonial architecture, history, and nature makes it truly special.

#cityplaybook 10.00 pm - We just arrived in Malacca. We were hungry and looking for the nearest eatery. 10.30 pm - We arrived at Nikmat Tomyam Seafood restaurant. Parking spaces were easy to find but quite limited. 10.40 pm - We ordered food and dined in there too. I ordered Rice with Kailan Vegetables and Tomyam Seafood. The food we ordered arrived, the food was really delicious and the Tom Yam was also quite tasty. This restaurant is really comfortable. It is an open-air restaurant like a warung. 11.30 pm - We were happy to be able to try the cuisine in Melaka on our first day of arrival before returning to check in to the homestay.

#springitinerary Perfect for a quick nature escape and coastal breeze! Here’s our simple yet scenic itinerary: 1. Tanjung Tuan (Cape Rachado Lighthouse) Hiked through the forest to the iconic lighthouse! The view of the ocean from up there is worth every step. Great mix of nature and history. 2. PD Waterfront Chilled by the sea, grabbed some snacks and enjoyed the breeze. Super relaxing spot with plenty of space to walk and unwind. 3. PD Waterfront Bazaar Strolled through the bazaar for souvenirs and local eats — good vibes and friendly vendors! 4. Pantai Kg. Bahasa Kapor Quiet beach stop to end the day. Serene and clean, perfect for a peaceful break. Skipped the more remote "secret cave" — a bit far and involves climbing over rocks, so we saved it for another time! #Malaysia #NegeriSembilan #PortDickson #TanjungTuan #DayTripVibes

#themepark Park Royal Melaka is here for the Eid al Fitr holiday. We have chosen to depart for nearby A'Famosa in Malacca, which is only an hour's drive from Kuala Lumpur. A'Famosa is located at a border, so it still takes an hour's drive from the center of Malacca. Now let's unpack the Park Royal A'Famosa Melaka Resort! Children who stay here can receive a task card, and after completing the check-in task, they can receive a reward. In addition, the hotel also offers a complimentary admission ticket to A'Famosa Water Theme Park. Unfortunately, we don't have enough time to explore. Maybe it's just recently opened, the hotel is very new and there are very few people, so no one makes it seem like a private room to play all day long 🤣。 The water slide here is located in shallow water, and my two-year-old baby stands in the water at just the right depth to walk on his own. The slide design here is fantastic, and children can slide down without fear. The hotel also has water grab and water polo rentals, but the children are busy going up and down the slide and throw the water grab aside 🤣。 The hotel has two restaurants - Spice buffet restaurant and Yayuan. When I went, Yayuan was still under renovation. The hotel's buffet restaurant is good at Malay food, so you can find delicious Malay food, but there are not many, and other foods are not very delicious. If you want to find delicious food, you need to drive 15-20 minutes to Tampin or Alor Gajah. #themepark #trip #historicallandmarks #familytrip

Nice place for the whole family to go shopping, dining and spend time with kids.

#favouriteitinerary On our way from Segamat to KL, we decided to stop by Sultan Salai in Simpang Ampat, Alor Gajah, Melaka, to try some authentic masak lomak. The restaurant was spacious with plenty of parking, and we couldn't wait to dig into the variety of food they had. Everything was presented beautifully, so neat and inviting. We wished we could try everything, but our tummy could only handle so much ! We settled on the smoked beef and tempoyak daun kayu, and that was more than enough. The food was full of flavor, spicy with the perfect kick, and absolutely delicious. We wiped our plates clean. It's a little on the expensive side, but it's definitely worth it !
