    I wondered down here on my first night and it was sooooo busy on a Saturday night. Then the day I walked down in the day and it was much nicer and easier to walk. A must visit street in Malacca.

    In December 2024, I watched this performance twice! I was still impressed during my second time. I was happy to introduce my family to watch it and they loved it. I highly commend the organisers for making this show as it is educational, cultural and motivational. The effects are not something you would have seen before in the region. Venue is clean and staffs are friendly.

    Only 1 point which I think can be improved: the section of the show relating to the six mothers is abit far fetched and sounded like a joke in the end. The story was touching but the end was disappointing. Hope the director can make more captivating stories.

    Look forward to any new themes or shows!

    There was a refreshing breeze.
    Look for the big sea lizards swimming and lounging about.
    You can take a relaxing river cruise.
    Cute restaurants and sights.

    Melaka is a charming blend of cuisine—a go to-visit spot! I went for a boat cruise, passed by food booths and enjoyed raindrops!

    Climbed the stairs near A Famosa to reach the hill. Could see the ruins of the very first Catholic church in Malacca built by the Portuguese.

    This is billed as a river walk but really there is little to see of interest. Once you are beside the river either walk into the town or use one of the trikes to peddle you around . Cheap enough for a 45min tour they will wait for you at each place of interest. I would recommend as it was so hot and exhausting and they know where to go instead of working with a map if you have limited time .

    This house built at the waterfront has an estimated price of 700.000 dollar, but it's more than that. The owner shows his house with excellent stories remembering the past, his father and grandfather, he is a living legend. Admire the house and all what you can see inside.
