Tour of Historic Malacca, Malaysia World Heritage Site and UNESCO city.

I am passionate to show tourists from around the world the architectural, heritage, culture, and history of Malacca, a world heritage site and UNESCO city. There are so many amazing stories including the hidden and back lane ones that I wish to share with you.

The following are the fantastic heritage and historical areas that I’m going explain in detail and I will walk together with you:

1/ The Stadthuys building. The Dutch used this as their government administration office as well as the British and Melaka.
2/ The legendary Heeren and Jonker Street in existence since the 18th century.
3/ The oldest Taoist temple in Malaysia - Cheng Hoon Teng temple built in 1673.
