Melaka
Drive two hours from Kuala Lumpur and you will find Melaka, a UNESCO World Heritage city. During the Age of Exploration many Western civilizations colonized Southeast Asia, and in Melaka artifacts from Netherland’s colonization of Malaysia are perfectly preserved. Therefore, there is a saying, "History of Melaka is the History of Malaysia.".

- Cruise Ship on Melaka River

Melaka River flows into the city of frozen times, Melaka. The view from the cafes and traditional houses of Kampung Hulu Street and Kampung Pantai Street is a thing of beauty. Strolling along the riverside is nice, but the proper way of enjoying the Melaka River is by boarding on a cruise ship. The exotic mood makes the Melaka night view even more gorgeous.
- Walking Every Inch of Alleys

The best way of exploring Melaka is by walking through its alleys. Taking a photo of the unique 2 storied long shophouses, and aimlessly following the rickshaw crowd is also recommended.
