Reviews from Real Guests:

Trip.com User: Malaysia knows that in a small fishing village on the Malay Peninsula, the 14th-century Sumatra Paramezbara built a peaceful Islamic kingdom, Malacca was conquered in 1511 by Portugal in Europe. Portugal monopolizes the eastern spice trade and spreads the Catholic Church, where Chinese people begin to enter Malacca as the Chinese dynasty of the Ming Dynasty comes to Malacca. They marry locals and create a unique culture called Ferranacan. A new culture was born, though the policy of the changed ruling class was quarrelling, as it changed to the colonies of the Netherlands and Britain in 1641 and 1824. The city is divided into Dutch Square, where the ruling class lived and ruled, and Chinatown, where the Peranakan culture of Chinese and Malaysians was mixed. Historical backgrounds have brought together the appearance of the East and West and were registered as a World Heritage Site in 2008. Most of the buildings and streets are still well preserved, hundreds of years later, so many tourists are looking for them. It's not just a clean sweep of foreign invasions and a new look, it's a look at the wealth of the well-preserved and governed descendants. There are also broken churches in the process of clashes between Portuguese, Dutch and British communities to spread their religion, both Catholic and Christian churches nearby. There is also a 1921 Malaysian Independence Consultative Group, which returned home from Britain to report independence to the Malaysian people. Malaysia, a culture well maintained throughout its long history, has transformed its thorny trails into treasures, even though it was colonial. So Malaysia is living peacefully without any ethnic or religious conflict. Imagine what Koreans, who are almost a single nation, might learn a little about the spirit of today's progress, renovation, or division of life.

Trip.com User: After meeting a few bad guides, I remembered that Gary, the guide to Trip.com's one-day tour of Malaccabu City, was great.

Walking on the bridge to enjoy the scenery on both sides is also very artistic.

Reviews from Real Guests:

Trip.com User: This historical section of Maleka is a must see. From the weekend night market (Friday-Sunday) to the traditional temples and structures that are more than 400 years old, theres something for everyone to enjoy. You can stroll into a local shop for some beautiful genuine natural stone/crystal jewlery that is cleared from all negative energies after your purchase. Great prices and even better food. Many clothings shops with something for all sizes.
