Good experience, great price when purchasing with the trip, easy redemption of tickets at counter , nice scenery with the cruise ..worth it
This trip to Malacca was truly enjoyable! The environment was incredibly clean, tidy, and full of local charm. The reception team was incredibly attentive, with everyone clearly assigned their roles and responsibilities, and they provided all sorts of thoughtful tips. Thank you! Mr. Xiaoyao, our guide on the day of our trip, was incredibly handsome, gentlemanly, sunny, polite, helpful, and courteous. He had a thorough understanding of local customs and practices, truly a true master of the local landscape. The car was beautiful and clean, and the journey was safe and pleasant. Thank you for your constant companionship! I highly recommend this place! It was also recommended by Ctrip! The Pink Mosque is breathtakingly beautiful! Jonker Street was also amazing! Beautiful! Highly recommended!

The Dutch billion house in Malacca is definitely a stunning travel destination! The red house was originally the colonial Dutch Governor's Mansion, and the exterior wall was a striking orange color, with the bell tower in the small square and the church marking these historical relics together, becoming a cultural heritage for all mankind. The Dutch Red House is worth a visit.
Such a lovely place to take a stroll. It is nearby the river and most famous attractions of Melacca. You can also find funny people in costumes here. Highly recommend

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Absolutely amazing experience at Encore Melaka! The entire theatre design and production quality are world class. The 360° rotating audience setup is mind-blowing. It makes you feel completely immersed in every scene, as if you’re part of the story. The technology, lighting, sound effects, and seamless stage transitions are unlike anything I’ve seen before.As someone who grew up in a Baba Nyonya household, I found the cultural elements especially meaningful and nostalgic. It truly brought the heritage to life in such a powerful way.Even my elder parents were impressed with the show. They were fully engaged from start to finish and kept talking about it afterward. The crew were also very friendly and helpful, making the whole experience smooth & welcoming from the moment we arrived.After the show, we continued the experience with a delicious Baba Nyonya meal. It was the perfect way to end the evening. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Melaka. A definite must watch!
The Encore Show is wonderful,moving and heartfelt.It is definitely worth it!We loved every minute of it.Professional cast and touching story telling..The theater ia also great and the staff helpful.

The highlight of the Strait of Malacca is its magnificent sea view and unique geographical significance, which can see the busy scene of cargo ship shuttle, but also the beautiful sunset, the shocking picture of the sea and sky dyed golden, and enjoy a leisurely holiday atmosphere on the beach. Suitable for watching the sunset, strolling the beach, and feeling the unique charm of this golden waterway.
The Strait of Malacca is the most important strait for world navigation and one of the busiest straits in the world. The narrowest part of the Strait of Malacca is between Malaysia on one side and Indonesia on the other. It is not far from Singapore and you can see many ships crossing the strait, which is worth experiencing.

The passage is fast and convenient. You can go up and overlook the city and the water of the Strait of Malacca. The time is short and it's okay. If you pass by Malacca, you can go up. The waiters have an average impression of Chinese people.
Personally, I think it is a good value for money activity, especially suitable for summer, as it avoids being exposed to the sun, has air conditioning, and provides a comfortable experience. It is suitable for those who are tired of walking and come here to see the scenery. You can overlook the Strait of Malacca, and the scenery is beautiful. Give up the Malacca Nyonya Museum, it is much better here.

The Floating Mosque is a beautiful landscape in the Strait of Malacca. The water is beautiful, the sky is beautiful, and the scenery is beautiful. It is a good place to take photos and check in. The azure water and sky are one color, setting off the red roof and white walls of the mosque, which is magnificent. You will never get tired of watching it.
It is said that the Straits Mosque in Malacca was completed in 2006, and the Malaysian Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin attended the inauguration ceremony. The mosque combines Middle Eastern and Malaysian styles and cost RM10 million.

St Paul's Church is full of highlights, built in 1521, is one of the oldest Catholic churches in Southeast Asia, full of historical charm. Standing in front of the church on the top of St Paul's, it overlooks the magnificent scenery of the city of Malacca and the Straits. The bullet holes in the exterior wall and the gravestones in Latin and Portuguese inside are silent stories of the past, unique and charming. And it is free to visit, cost-effective.
We visited St. Paul's Cathedral without any expectations, and we were pleasantly surprised. Admission is free, but be prepared to climb stairs to reach the top, making it less accessible for strollers.Once at the top, you are greeted with a stunning view of the ruins of a former Portuguese cathedral, which has since been taken over by the Dutch. Inside, you will find the tombs of several priests, and at the entrance, there's a map providing explanations for each tomb.I highly recommend this location for both the panoramic views and the peaceful atmosphere up top.

The Malacca Dynasty Palace Museum has many highlights. The building adopts traditional Malay wooden construction style. The whole wooden structure does not use a nail. The high-rise building base is matched with pointed roofs, which is full of strong Southeast Asian style. The museum has a rich collection of 1350 Sudanese antiques, covering food, jewelry, musical instruments, etc., as well as various ethnic life displays, vividly restore the history and culture of the Malacca Dynasty. In addition, the museum has a three-dimensional model, which realistically presents the Sudanese courtyard scene.
The Sultan's Palace is a place to learn about the history of Malaysia and Malacca. The garden is very beautiful, and some of the exhibits are in the National Museum. Fortunately, I went there first, so the visit went smoothly. I learned a lot of stories!
