Historical Malacca
Malacca (Melaka) is Malaysia's oldest city, the capital of the state of Malacca . It is located in the north shore of the Strait of Malacca , and Indonesia's Sumatra across the sea . The city was founded in 1403 , was once the capital of the Kingdom of Malacca , Malacca Kingdom in 1402 was established by the拜里米苏拉苏丹Kingdom , China Ming Dynasty called Malacca state , the heyday of the country covering Thailand south to southwest Sumatra . Because of its good location and abundant marine spices and other property resources are coveted by old and new colonialism , in 1511 the Portuguese colonists aggression against Malacca , Malacca in 1528 into the colony, and in 1641 the Dutch occupied Malacca to 1826 becoming part of the British Straits Settlements . History of Malacca was once China 's satellite states in Zheng He 's seven voyages voyage activities , there are five stops Malacca . Every time he is led soldiers Zhunzha in three Baoshan , fleet moored Malacca waters , no inch of land occupied by local , local did not snatch any property , is a true messenger of peace . Today as in the past Malacca people still worship and gratitude Zheng He , many locals also spread with the help of locals Zheng building a wall , the story of the fight against piracy . Malacca is now also left a "Zheng and well ," It is said that Zheng He reached Malacca personally dug . Sweet well water clear, considered holy by the locals for centuries . Raising the Malacca people side. February 20, 1956 , the first Prime Minister of Malaysia, Malaysia Raman declared independence, its ritual is held in Malacca pastures . Due to blockage of the mouth of Malacca and Penang , Singapore, the rise of city status is declining . Today, people can be seen in the Malacca Malay, Chinese , Portuguese populated neighborhoods , you can see the Portuguese Diego gates and St. Paul 's Church, the Dutch Government House , Malacca Mosque and Arab -style Chinese style temple. Numerous monuments changtae overlying rock , slightly run-down , but they who have bears seven centuries glorious kingdom of Malacca and sour story.
Malacca Tourism
Malacca city is not, is the major urban areas around their feet to measure , 2,3 hours is enough. But nearly seven hundred years of colonial history and a number of countries, creating a rich cultural landscape of Malacca , tropical climate and marine geography fusion of Malacca town garden-like style . Malacca is no modern grandeur, no high efficient facilities , and certainly no noisy crowded ; Malacca that street, that lane , that old house to every one here for people old story , rustic life , tranquil mood ; to Malacca often people can not help recalling childhood. Malacca mood to appreciate the beauty of need , because the traffic between Kuala Lumpur and Malacca consuming, leaving those who arrange day trips Malacca only superficial . We went to Malacca in Malaysia before the yearning good stroll , so there is no hurry , as like most ALICE , choosing instead to live two nights in Malacca . Malacca 's main attractions are concentrated in two regions. First, the Netherlands Red area , the second is the mountain regions.
Red (Stadthuys) which is constructed in 1650 by the Dutch rulers of the Governor , three hundred years there has been a history of Malacca seat of government agencies , only up to 1980, was changed to Malacca Museum. Malacca museum holds various periods of historical artifacts, including weapons , Old Dutch , Portuguese ancient clothing, Malay wedding costumes, as well as the ancient port of Malacca was moored boats pictures , ancient coins and stamps and so on. Here 's a look at Malacca past lives is still worthwhile. Museum daily 9:00 am - 18: 00pm Open ( where every Friday 12:00 - 15:00 Closed ) , tickets RM5 million children RM2 million.
Next to a neighbor with the Red House was built in 1753 is the Christian Church (Christ Church) As the church is a red Dutch -style buildings so also known as "Red Chapel" , this attraction and some called Red House , and some called Red Church , in fact, is a carry on. Red Church the most beautiful work of art is above the altar mural "The Last Supper " by the church ceiling beams cut from the trunk of a tree , there is no other interfaces , handmade church also has two hundred Benches years years , and the building is one of the symbols of the city of Malacca . No fees , can be the way to visit.
It is worth mentioning that the reputation of the Malacca " float ." Malacca " floats " are concentrated in the Red Square area , the so-called " float " is similar to our domestic tricycle with colorful garlands , flowers and flower card with the whole wrapped up , visitors sit like exposure to the flowers , and then your coachman Dengzhe street tour, it is truly glamorous , suitable for taking pictures . But expensive , about 1,2 km around RM 20 (RMB 40 ) .
St. Paul's Church (St.Pauls Church) St. Paul's Church was built in Sao Paulo Peak, which is 1521 built by a Portuguese general the Catholic Church, it was only after the Dutch occupation of Malacca renamed St. Paul's Church , but in 1753 completed the construction of Christ Red Church after St. Paul's Church was the Dutch abandoned it. That is the case, here was converted into a celebrity cemetery. This attraction is a rundown of the top tour of the church and those called heritage monument stands in front of the church hands- Portuguese missionary St. Francis ( translated as Saint Francis ) statue. St. Francis is a legend , his long missionary in the Far East , often visited this chapel in 1553 was buried here. It is said that after his death the corpse does not rot , the Dutch do not believe. Chopped his body right , its hand was bleeding profusely , the Dutch shocked, as a saint.
And St. Paul's Church with the foot of the mountain in Sao Paulo attractions are Fort Santiago , the castle is the year in order to prevent the Portuguese occupation of Malacca Kingdom counterattack while the hillside , difficult terrain , all with stone bricks . Castle built 150 years has withstood many attacks inside still stays on , the last Englishman had completely destroyed with the first shot of this rather die than surrender in Stone Town, Shimen only one survived , the locals call it " the city without walls the door . " Castle by locals as the spiritual symbol of Malacca . This year's castle is now only remnants of a fort on top of the tower and its ruins . Only the castle walls and the castle above the bullet next to the abandoned cannon to you narrates the history of that . Fort Santiago and St. Francis Xavier Church is not received tickets , St. Paul's Hill is not high , mounted to the Strait of Malacca is overlooking the distant attractions pleasant thing. Interestingly, from St. Paul walked down the mountain to the sea has been , has a well-preserved Portuguese architectural style village, the Portuguese descendants still live there said the 16th century Portuguese.
Malacca Sultan Palace ( Malacca Museum ) : Backed St. Paul's Hill , verdant trees and beautiful environment. The Declaration of Independence Memorial : Located opposite the palace Sudan , originally built in 1912, a unique style of hotel , there was a luxury Malacca club. Now used for exhibitions and artifacts relating to the independence of Malaysia and Malaysia show the history of painting , recording until 31 August 1957 when the country declared independence history of changes .
Malacca farms Street , although not too well known , but they are the largest street street : farms Street , Joker Street, Jalan Gelanggang, Stadium Street , Jalan Hang Jebat, Antique Street , Hall Street , Culture Street , of course , If you translate Jonker Street, also can be understood as the Dutch nobility street. And said to the true origin of the farms street name , in fact, evolved from the Hokkien " Street Field Street ." In Hokkien , in general, the " street market " to describe a busy street , and Hokkien "street market " and " chicken " are homonyms , so slowly evolved into farms Street , this field is also similar to Kuala Lumpur Heights Street . In fact, prefer to call the local Chinese culture street , maybe this street is the Chinese culture, the local indigenous culture, a blend of Western culture such as the land it. I like the night farms street lanterns, whole chicken street is vehicle access is prohibited , and both sides of the narrow streets filled with a variety of stalls, bustling with tourists of all colors , that you have never seen snacks , that you can not name the fruit , and more from China Yiwu Small Commodity . Here worn, allows the distance between people closer ; noisy here , but everywhere people may feel warm. Like the state of people's lives here , a small family business, small to pursue , a small busy little happiness.
Three Baoshan (Bukit China) , also known as China 's mound. 1409 Polaroid Han Ming emperor to marry the princess and the pro Malacca Sultan , Sultan of Malacca gave this mountain princess for her residence . Built up and down the Baoshan Temple for pure Chinese architectural style, red walls green glazed tiles, cornices , carved beams , is to commemorate the Ming Dynasty Admiral Zheng He visited Malacca was built the temple for a Zheng He statue . Sambo southwest foothills there a temple for the Malacca Sultan Han princess Polaroid built , built in 1673 , all of the materials are shipped from China at that time . Terakado sides of a Chinese couplet: "500 years ago, leaving Der Sheng track Quartet sector significantly souls ." Temple next to an ancient Han Polaroid followers of excavation for the princess , was the main source of fresh water in Malacca , reportedly even drought, wells are inexhaustible . Now this has been called the Wishing Well wells , the legend was cast a coin into the well , he will definitely re-visit Malacca .
Visiting Malacca city also has several place can not go . Old chicken rice , which is reviewed by the Hong Kong gourmets Mr. Cai Lan had " chubby , chubby " chicken rice . According to legend, a living before the Chinese in Southeast Asia , in order to be able to eat at work anytime, anywhere convenience food, so Ball up the rice , boiled rice and chicken broth together , wet sticky and delicious, moderate hardness, coupled with mouthwatering chicken or poached chicken to a thick and crisp Ipoh bean sprouts, wheat another drink cold water, really very comfortable. But honestly to me this self-proclaimed picky eaters who do not go on no longer eat after tasting the second desire .
Three great-uncle pastry shop, three great-uncle of Malacca , this shop is large, front shop , in Jinsheng farms Street Bridge entrance to Red Square and the bridge across the river, which is very rich in species snacks , food packaging both nostalgia is also fashionable. Three great-uncle whose real name is Chen Liang roll, the Japanese occupied the times to peddle cakes , cakes, mochi for a living, is affable and helpful for the elderly , because at home, ranked third , so the younger generation who affectionately referred to him as three great-uncle . During the war , three great-uncle was distributed to Southeast Asia unfortunate exile , and later take root in Malaysia . After the war, living difficult, so three great-uncle is still a unique confectionery, cake craft survive, because delicious, so word of mouth and thus three great-uncle also became a tourist from Malacca to purchase food gift souvenirs best choice.
Baba Nyonya culture , which is a history of the formation of Qi Tema to social phenomena . Early settlers in the Malacca Chinese and local women - Malay women or women Siam offspring of such marriages , so called " Baba " ; rather marry Chinese detachment observe local customs and practices of Chinese husbands of these women , it is called " Nyonya ." " Baba Nyonya ' families and their relatives were essentially closed to get along , they generation to generation, forming a" Baba Nyonya " society. In the long life , in order to not only adapt to the customs of the Chinese community , but also to adapt to the customs of the Malay community in terms of cultural identity in the collision and gradually formed a " Baba Nyonya " culture. They believe that Chinese Confucianism , to comply with the Chinese customs, worship is the Chinese tablets ( such as the Goddess of Mercy , Guan Di , etc. ) and ancestors . Their wedding is also the same with the Chinese , and even according to the traditional way of the wedding , the groom wore a long robe that is , the bride wore dress coat , phoenix coronet and so on. Of course , these " Baba Nyonya " We also have many Chinese in different places, such as talking about " Baba Malay " , which is a standard language with Malaya and Malay dialect differences, and there are many mixed Minnan language vocabulary . " Nyonya " who wear " Nyonya loaded" - " Ge Baya 'or sarong , which is Malay and Indonesian styles of dress ; diet also" Baba -style ", which uses " Baba Nyonya cooking Law " - a way to Malaysian and Chinese cooking up convergence . And they are also the same as the Malaysian hand or with a spoon and fork to eat , instead of chopsticks, and so on. Old town Nyonya museum tickets RM8, this is a Baroque -style building , which was originally three generations of Chinese ancestry living in Baba 's former residence, built in the 19th century, famous for heavy mahogany furniture . This is Singapore's first two years of the hit drama " The Little Nyonya " shooting location , but unfortunately can not take pictures Nyonya Nyonya Museum will have a leading edge in English while explaining to visit, issued after the end of each visit to a bookmark . Street Malacca Street 88 farms on the ( Great Treasure snack restaurant is Nyonya snack, to a most famous local BABA HENDOL ( Nyonya Pycnogenol ) taste , which is a kind of fruit and Pycnogenol ( green vermicelli -like things ) to do the end of material , above doused red syrup , butter , ice , heat to a positive , sweet , smooth, cold. wonder it often crowds of the store . there is also a Nyonya Restaurant famous street in Shanhai , shop called Nancys Kitchen, it is home Nyonya taste shrimp noodles and fish ball soup is worth a try .
Petty 's well worth visiting Malacca " geographer " cafe. Situated in the middle of this farm Street cafe in the movie " Summer Mother Tea " in the coffee shop is in this building, shooting and famous. Boss Zeng Zhaoming , a young man working in the shipping industry in Taiwan , traveling around the world , returned home after Malacca , and friends rented a layer of 200 -year-old joint venture of the old house , it will be transformed into a cafe filled with southern flavor . " Geographer " Nanyang cafe with its unique style in 1999 won second prize Architectural Institute of Malaysia , is now farms Street landmark, night attracts many foreign tourists in this drink and chat .
