Just about a two-hours drive south from Kuala Lumpur lies Melaka, a UNESCO World Heritage city. Founded by a Sumatran prince in 1401, the Sultanate grew into an important trading center for the Spice trade with merchants coming in from the Middle East, India, China, Siam, Acheh, Gujarat. Portuguese merchants first came in 1509 but in 1511 they decided to take control of this port city which is located about midway from Goa, India and Macau, China. A perimeter wall, the Fortaleza de Malaka was built to defend the city. However, the Dutch had other plans and in 1641 after a serious conflict of gunships took over the fort and developed a Dutch township. In 1824 after the Anglo-Dutch Treaty, Britain and the Netherlands divided two spheres of influence. Extremely rich in history, we will walk the heritage trail as described in the itinerary and learn the struggles how they fit in the jigsaw of history. I hope to help you gain a local perspective of Melaka. It will be a day well spent if you are into history.
We shall meet at your hotel lobby by 8:00 am or even earlier if you like and enjoy a 2. 5 hour leisure drive to Melaka. Our heritage trail will encompass the following sites: - the Dutch Square, Stadthuys. - the ruins of St. Paul's Hill - Christ Church - the Porta da Santiago, only remaining structure of the original Portuguese Fort. - visit the Straits Chinese Museum or the Melaka History and Ethnology Museum - visit the oldest and UNESCO grand Chinese temple. - some free time at Jonker Street. - Leave Malacca by 4pm. Estimated arrival at Kuala Lumpur about 6. 30pm. - lunch on Nyonya cuisine. If this tour is on a Friday, Sat or Sunday, I would recommend we stay a bit longer as there is a colourful Night Market which opens at 5. 30pm. This means we will stay till about 7. 30pm and get back to your hotel at about 10. 00pm. This "3. 5-hour extension" will necessitate an additional fee of USD70. Additionally, if you have other sites you want included, please let me know and we shall rework the itinerary.
