Melaka is a popular place to visit in Malaysia, mainly for its old town, preserved feel. Chinese shophouses, Portuguese buildings, a meandering canal.
Typical lineup of shophouses in the Old Town section.
Melaka river. They've lined sections of it with walkways for cafes, enlivened the look with murals.
A Famosa, a Portuguese fort from 1511. Today, snap, snap.
Like in
Penang and other places old shophouses still exist, great tile work. Chee family home, a cupcake urban mansion.
Sultanate Palace Museum, a replica of a traditional Sultan palace from the 1400s.
The Old Town section is still filled with small shopkeepers, complete with multi-generation clutter and patina.
Jonker Street is the most popular section to walk in Melaka. A big stage anchors the western edge of the street.
