Malakka - Malacca

Christ Church, Melaka

Malakka-stad (Maleis: Bandaraya Melaka, en amptelik Melaka City) is 'n stad en die hoofstad van die staat Malakka, Maleisië.

Verstaan

Hedendaagse Malakka is 'n lewendige ou stad met 'n unieke historiese en kulturele agtergrond van die hoofstad van 'n magtige Maleise koninkryk voor die koloniale era, asook die daaropvolgende Portugese, Nederlandse en Britse bewind. Die middestad was gelys deur UNESCO as 'n Wêreld-erfenis gebied in Julie 2008, saam met Georgetown, Penang.

Geskiedenis

Voor die eerste Sultan se aankoms was Malakka 'n eenvoudige vissersdorpie wat deur plaaslike Maleiers bewoon is. Die Malacca-sultanaat is gestig deur Parameswara, ook Iskandar Shah of Sri Majara genoem, die laaste Raja van Singapura (die Maleisiese naam van Singapoer) na 'n Majapahit-aanval in 1377. Parameswara het in 1400 sy weg na Malakka gevind waar hy 'n toeganklike hawe gevind het gedurende alle seisoene en op die strategies geleë smalste punt van die Malakka Straat. Dit het later Malakka geword.

Daar is 'n paar interessante legendes rondom die stigting en benaming van Malakka. Volgens die 16de eeuse Maleise Annale is die stad gestig deur Parameswara. Sommige meen dit is meer waarskynlik dat hy 'n Hindoe-prins en politieke vlugteling van naby was Java. Die legende lui dat Parameswara op jag was in die streek en stilgehou het om homself te verkwik naby die huidige Malakka-rivier. Staan naby a melaka (Indiese kruisbes) -boom was hy verbaas om te sien hoe een van sy jaghonde so geskrik het vir 'n muishert dat dit in die rivier geval het. Parameswara beskou dit as 'n gunstige teken van die swakkes wat die magtiges oorkom en besluit om die hoofstad van sy nuwe koninkryk te bou waar hy gestaan ​​het en noem dit vir die boom waaronder hy gerus het. 'N Ander verslag sê dat Malakka afgelei is van die Arabiese woord Malakat, wat "mark" beteken. Malakka het 'n bevaarbare hawe wat naby geleë was, beskut Sumatra oor die noue seestraat. Dit is voorsien van genoeg vars water, het 'n uitstekende ligging in verhouding tot die verskuiwende moesonwinde, en het 'n sentrale ligging in plaaslike handelspatrone gehad, wat dit vinnig 'n welvarende handelsstad gemaak het. Sy lot het toegeneem met die amptelike aanvaarding van die Islam in die 14de eeu. Die Sultans van Malakka het gou Arabiese handelaars van ver af gelok. Malakka het egter voortgegaan met handelaars van alle rasse en godsdienste.

Na die besoek van die Chinese Moslem-admiraal Cheng Ho in die middel van die 15de eeu het die kontak tussen China en Malakka verskerp. In ruil vir beskerming teen Siam, Het Malakka 'n vasale staat vir Ming China geword. Om die veiligheid van Malakka te verseker, is 'n nuwe en kragtige koninkryk deur die Sultan van Samudra-Pasai gestig. Die besoek van Cheng Ho het ook die eerste vlaag van Chinese immigrasie na Malakka ontketen, met baie van hierdie Chinese setlaars wat plaaslike Maleise bruide aangevat het om aanleiding te gee tot die Peranakan gemeenskap. Die resultaat hiervan is 'n interessante samevoeging van Chinese en Maleise kulture. Die mans word aangespreek as Babas en die vroue Nyonyas deur hul bediendes wat "meester" en "minnares" beteken.

Die mag van die Maleiers het deur die 15de eeu begin toeneem. In die Maleise Annale word Sultan Mansur Shah genoem dat hy ses vrouens gehad het, en die vyfde was 'n dogter van die Ming-keiser. In die Chinese kronieke is daar egter geen sodanige gebeurtenis opgeteken nie.

Dinge het begin verander met die aankoms van die Portugese in 1509. Hulle was eers welkom, maar Indiese handelaars het die sultan gou teen die Portugese gedraai en hulle moes vlug. In 1511 keer die Portugese terug, en met hul tweede poging beslag lê op die stad. Gedurende die Portugese koloniale tydperk het baie Portugese mans hulle in die stad gevestig en plaaslike bruide aangevat en aanleiding gegee tot die Eurasiese gemeenskap, waarvan die kultuur 'n unieke samevoeging van Europese en Asiatiese tradisies is. Die Portugese het die stad verander in 'n massiewe vesting met 'n toring vol kanonne. Daar is geglo dat sulke vestings die inbreuk kan weerstaan ​​van ander Europese moondhede wat gretig is vir 'n deel van die Asiatiese handel met luukse goedere.

'N Alliansie tussen die Nederlanders en die Sultan van Johor het die verlies baie van Malakka se mag gesien. In 1641 plaas die Nederlandse vloot 'n blokkade op Malakka en hulle neem die stad na ses maande in beslag. Tydens die beleg is 'n groot deel van die Portugese stad vernietig.

Eers na 150 jaar verloor die Nederlanders hul houvas op Malakka. In 1795 het die Nederland is deur die Franse verower, en die Britte wou graag die Nederlandse besit in Malakka oorneem. Teen daardie tyd het Malakka die meeste van sy vroeëre belang verloor, hoewel dit 'n belangrike deel van die Asiatiese handelsroetes gebly het.

Die A Famosa-hek is al wat oorbly van die ou Portugese en Nederlandse forte. Toe die Napoleontiese oorloë verswak, het die Britte geweet dat Malakka weer onder Nederlandse beheer sou word. Om die stad onverdedigbaar te maak, is die stadsmure afgeblaas. Die jong Sir Stamford Raffles (stigter van die Britse Singapoer) het die hek gered op 'n laaste oomblik deur 'n Britse offisier. Kort na sy terugkeer na die Nederlandse bewind het die Nederlandse en Britse regerings kolonies verruil - Britse Bencoolen in Sumatra vir Nederlandse Malakka.

Praat

Malakka is 'n kultureel uiteenlopende stad, en dit word weerspieël in die aantal tale wat in die daaglikse lewe gebruik word. Soos in ander dele van Maleisië, Maleis is die lingua franca, en Engels word algemeen in toeristegebiede en onder plaaslike inwoners van die hoër klas gepraat. Die etniese Chinese gemeenskap praat hoofsaaklik Hokkien, hoewel baie in staat is om te praat Kantonees en Mandaryns ook. Die etniese Indiese gemeenskap bestaan ​​hoofsaaklik uit Tamil sprekers, maar daar is ook 'n belangrike Sikh minderheid wat hoofsaaklik praat Punjabi. Die Peranakan-gemeenskap spreek 'n kenmerkende Maleisiese kreool met sterk Hokkien-instroom wat bekend staan ​​as Baba Maleis, terwyl die Portugees-Eurasiese gemeenskap praat a Portugees-gebaseerde creool bekend as Kristang.

Gaan in

Met die vliegtuig

1 Malacca Internasionale Lughawe (MKZ IATA) (10 km vanaf die stad Malakka). Malindo Air is die enigste operateur met 'n daaglikse vlug na Penang. (Oktober 2017 opgedateer)

Grondvervoer:

Batang-bus (geel, room en rooi) van Melaka Sentral sal verby die lughawe gaan. Busse stop by die hoofweg ongeveer 200 m vanaf die lughawegebou. Tuahbas nr. 65 (blou en wit) na Taman Merdeka gaan ook vanaf Melaka Sentral verby die lughawe via Bachang.

Kuala Lumpur Internasionale Lughawe KLIA, (KUL IATA) is die naaste groot lughawe en is 1½ tot 2 uur met die motor. Transnasionaal busmaatskappy bestuur daagliks 4 direkte busse om 09:15, 11:45, 16:15 en 20:15 (RM22 / 16 volwassene / kind), reistyd 2½ uur, maar as u dit mis, moet u ompad ry via KL neem of neem 'n taxi met reistyd ongeveer 1½ uur (vaste "goedkoop" tarief RM159, enkele reis, toonbank binne Binnelandse aankoms, die wag laat u en u trollie bagasie graag van buite terug in hierdie gebied).

  • Malaysia Airlines, Lot 1 & 2, Blok A, Grondvloer, Century Mahkota Hotel, J. Merdeka, Melaka, ☏ 60 6 282 9597. Dit vlieg nie na Malakka nie, maar dit hou 'n kantoor hier. 

Met die bus

Baie langafstand-snelbusse verbind Malakka met albei Kuala Lumpur, Seremban, Johor Bahru, Singapoer en ander dele van Maleisië. Alle langafstand- en plaaslike busse ry vanaf die 2 Melaka Sentral-busterminus, 'n goeie 4,5 km van die historiese kern van die stad af.

Om die hoofhistoriese distrik te bereik, neem bus nommer 17 wat vertrek vanaf die plaaslike busterminaal van Melaka Sentral by die busbaai '17'. Hierdie bus gaan na Chinatown en Taming Sari. Die naaste stop by Chinatown is die Hollandse plein, wat u maklik uit die baksteenrooi Christ Church en Stadthuys kan identifiseer. Die prys is RM2 per persoon (Julie 2017). Bus 17 is 'n luslyn, dus as u terug moet gaan na Melaka Sentral, kan u dit op dieselfde plek neem waar u afgeklim het, maar om bus 17 terug te neem na Melaka Sentral duur baie langer as die inkomende reis (ongeveer 40 min. ). 'N Baie vinniger (en goedkoper) manier is om tot aan die einde van Jonker Walk te stap tot by Jalan Kabu. U sien 'n Tamil Methodistekerk aan u regterkant en 'n bushalte (Perhentian Jalan Kabu) oorkant die straat (genaamd Jalan Kabu). Van daar af kos die bus RM1,5 (Julie 2017) en neem dit 15 minute om Melaka Sentral te bereik. Busse 17 ry ongeveer elke 20-40 minute, afhangende van die verkeer.

Vanaf Sentral, as u eerder 'n taxi na die sentrum wil neem, gaan dan na die agterkant van die gebou. Daar is 'n amptelike taxistaanplek wat 'n bestuurder vir u sal aanstel. Dit is gewoonlik vuil met onbeskofte en aggressiewe bestuurders om plaaslike inwoners en buitelanders te bedrieg. Hulle weier om die meter te gebruik en buitensporige pryse vir kort afstande te vra ('n rit vanaf Melaka Sentral na die belangrikste toeristegebied in Jonkerstraat sal ongeveer RM 25 en hoër wees). Plaaslike inwoners verwys gewoonlik na taxibestuurders as 'samseng' (Maleis vir gangsters) en beveel aan om opsies te gebruik om saam te ry / e-hael, soos Uber of die plaaslike Maleisiese maatskappy bel Gryp as goedkoper en meer professionele alternatiewe. 'N Rit na Jonker sou ongeveer RM8 kos vir 'n gemaklike skoon motor en vriendelike plaaslike bestuurder. As u met die bus by Melaka Sentral aankom, gaan u na die hoofingang om af te haal. Moenie na die agterste ingang gaan waar die te duur taxi's wag nie. U moet die programme op u slimfoon aflaai voordat u aankom.

Vanuit Kuala Lumpur

Suidelike busse vertrek nou vanaf die nuwe busterminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS), wat langs die LRT-stasie en die KTM Komuter-stasie Bandar Tasik Selatan is. Die maklikste manier om van Chinatown daarheen te kom, is om na die ou treinstasie van Kuala Lumpur te loop (teenoorgestelde kant van die kanaal vanaf die LRT Pasar Seni-stasie, gebruik die viaduct) en neem die KTM Komuter-trein vir RM1,10 of neem die LRT vanaf die Masjid Jamek-stasie. Busse vertrek elke halfuur, die pryskaartjie na Melaka Sentral is tussen RM10 en RM15, en die rit duur 2 uur en 15 minute.

Daar is ook daaglikse busse vanaf die Kuala Lumpur Internasionale Lughawe (vir meer besonderhede, sien paragrawe hierbo).

Van Singapoer

Baie busmaatskappye werk vanaf Lavender St.-busterminaal direk na Melaka Sentral. Busskedules wissel tussen maatskappye, maar sommige werk per bus. Die beste kan daagliks opdaag en kaartjies koop as u Saterdagoggend wil reis en Sondagmiddag wil terugkeer, aangesien baie Singapoerse toeriste dieselfde idee het. Die tariewe kan wissel van ongeveer SGD14-50 eenrigting, afhangende van die klas van die bus.

Busritte neem gewoonlik 3½ – 5 uur, afhangend van hoe lank dit neem om die grense van Singapoer en Maleisië oor te steek, wat gedurende spitstyd groot vertraging kan veroorsaak. U paspoort moet aan elke punt van die grens gestempel word en u moet al u bagasie saambring as u 'n ingang in elke land. Oor die algemeen sal die bus by die grens op u wag, maar soms sal hulle van u verwag om die volgende bus te haal as u te lank neem om deur die doeane te kom. Maak seker dat u onthou hoe u bus daar uitsien (die nommerplaat is 'n handige ding om te onthou). Die busse het ook 'n rusplek van 20 tot 30 minute onderweg waar u kos kan koop en die toiletgeriewe kan gebruik (waarvan die skoonheid betwyfel kan word). Die Singapore-doeanegebied het, indien nodig, ordentlike toiletgeriewe.

Sommige van die maatskappye wat na / van Malakka werk, is:

  • Transnasionaal, is die grootste langafstandbusoperateur in Maleisië. Dit verbind die staat met 'n aantal bestemmings in Maleisië, soos Kuala Lumpur, Seremban, Singapoer en verder. Transnasionele busse vertrek vanaf Malacca City (Melaka Sentral), Alor Gajah, A'Famosa Resort en Masjid Tanah.
  • Malacca-Kuala Lumpur Express: Busse per uur tussen Malakka en Kuala Lumpur van 05: 30-19: 00. Kaartjies kos RM12,50.
  • Jebat Ekspres: Busse na Kuala Lumpur via Masjid Tanah en Alor Gajah.
  • Malacca-Singapore Express: Uurlikse busse tussen Malakka en Johor Bahru en Singapoer 08: 00-19: 00. Kaartjies kos RM19 na / van Johor Baru, en RM22,00 na Singapoer. Die roete van Singapoer na Malakka is SGD20
  • Delima Express: Busse van Singapoer na Malakka / Malakka na Singapoer. Kaartjies kos SGD 20,80 / RM22 (RM / 26 in Julie 2017). Die instapplek in Singapoer is City Plaza @ Payar Lebar. Aanlyn besprekings is beskikbaar.
  • Mayang Sari Express: Busse na / van Johor Baru. Kaartjies kos RM19.
  • MCW Express: Gereelde spoeddienste aan Muar, Johor
  • 707 Reis: Gunsteling busmaatskappy van Chinese-Singapoerers wat na Malakka gaan. Vertrek 4-5 keer na / van Malakka (Melaka Sentral) en Singapoer (Queenstraat). Stop nie by Yong Peng nie, so die reis kan net 3,5 uur duur. SGD25 van Singapoer; RM25 van Malakka. In die moesson-seisoen is die prys van die nuwe jaar SGD20 vanaf Singapoer. Daar kom horrorverhale uit hierdie maatskappy, maar moenie van stryk bring nie. Hul kommunikasie is miskien 'n bietjie swak, maar as u te lank neem om deur die doeane te kom, moet u net die volgende 707-bus u kaartjie wys, dan is u op pad. Dit is egter nie lekker om aan die Maleisiese grens te hang nie, want daar is geen lugversorging nie.

Met die trein

Malacca Town word nie deur enige spoorlyne bedien nie. Die naaste treinstasie is by Pulau Sebang /Tampin, ☏ 60 6 341 1034, in die Alor Gajah-distrik, ongeveer 30 km (19 myl) weg. Die stasie is op die hooflyn van Kuala Lumpur-Johor Bahru en word deur alle treine bedien.

Amper daar:

Met die bus:Die "Tai Lye" -bus ry vanaf die Tampin-dorp na Malakka. U sal bus 26 soek. As u van die trein afklim, loop u ongeveer 400 m regs af tot by die hoofweg. U het nou twee opsies. 1) Steek die pad oor en wag totdat bus 26 na u toe kom, waai mal daarteen, en dit sal stop om u op te laai. 2) As u die hoofweg bereik, draai u links en stap ongeveer 600 m die stad in. U kom by 'n kruising tussen T en die hoofweg, met 'n vertakking van 'n heuwel. Loop daardie pad ongeveer 200 m op en die busstasie is aan u linkerkant. Dit is 'n minder risiko, maar meer loopopsie. As u baie bagasie het, kan u ook 'n taxi neem vanaf die treinstasie na die busstasie. As u verdwaal loop, vra die plaaslike bevolking net die "busstasie". Min praat hier Engels, maar hulle sal verstaan ​​waarheen jy wil kom. Die busgeld kos RM4,30, en u benodig ringit kontant om dit mee te betaal. Die reis duur ongeveer anderhalf uur.

'Salira'-bus (ligblou en geel) gaan ook van Melaka Sentral na Tampin via Ayer Keroh en Durian Tunggal. Klim uit die bus op dieselfde plek as Tai Lye.

Per taxi: Daar moet 'n taxi of twee by die treinstasie wees wat wag vir iemand soos u om saam te kom. As dit nie is nie, stap die stad binne met die aanwysings hierbo. U sien een gou genoeg. Die koste sal ongeveer RM50 beloop, maar u kan 'n bietjie onderhandel. Hoe dit ook al sy, laat hulle na u hotel neem, of as hulle u slegs na Malacca Sentral kan neem, kry 'n goedkoper tarief (moenie wag om dit in die taxi te bespreek nie!) As u kontant het, en meer as net 'n aktetas, is dit die makliker opsie. Die motors is met lugversorging ('n ander onderhandelingsklip as dit nie is nie) en het 'n bagasieruim vir u toerusting. Boonop kan u die koste met tot drie ander mense deel. Of as u alleen is, is daar miskien 'n plaaslike bevolking wat ook na Malakka probeer om 'n gratis rit te waardeer? Onthou egter om veilig te wees. Moenie in u taxi klim voordat die bestuurder dit het nie, betaal altyd op die bestemming en kyk na u goed! Die rit per taxi duur ongeveer 40 minute.

Met die motor

Malakka kan verkry word vanaf die Noord-Suid-snelweg. As u van die suide kom, ry u langs die E2 en verlaat die snelweg by die Ayer Keroh uitgang. Alternatiewelik kan 'n mens die snelweg by die Simpang Empat-afrit verlaat en deur die normale pad na Malakka ry. Hierdie roete sal deur die stad Alor Gajah beweeg en nou met die nuwe snelweg (ringweg) voltooi, sal die reis vanaf Simpang Empat na Malakka ongeveer 20-30 minute per motor duur.

Die stad Malakka is aan die Kuswegpad (Federale Roete 5) en is vanaf die Hooflynweg (Federale Roete 1) toeganklik deur by Simpang Kendong af te draai of Tampin, Negeri SembilanMalakka is 150 km vanaf Kuala Lumpur, 216 km vanaf Johor Bahru, en 90 km (56 myl) vanaf Port Dickson.

N motor huur

Vir diegene wat 'n maklike en direkte uitweg wil hê vanaf Kuala Lumpur se LCCT- of KLIA-lughawe na Malakka, is 'n maklike manier om 'n motor of bussie te huur of te huur. Dit sal u 1-1½ uur neem om daar te kom. Die pryse wissel van RM150 tot RM400, afhangend van die voertuigtipe en die huurduur.

Met die taxi

Gehuurde taxidienste is beskikbaar aan die einde van Jalan Kee Ann. Hulle reis binne die staat Malakka en buite Malakka, soos na die KLIA Internasionale Lughawe en Kuala Lumpur en vervoer tot 4 passasiers tegelyk. Baie taxi's gebruik 'n vasgestelde tarief eerder as 'n meter vir sulke reise, dus moet u oor 'n prys besluit voordat u inklim. As u eerder die onderhandelinge wil vermy, kan die meeste hotelle hierdie reis vir u bespreek (hoewel sommige eerder groot kommissie, kyk dus na die tarief), of u kan aanlyn bespreek deur verskillende maatskappye. Tipiese tariewe vir KLIA is RM150-200, afhangende van die motormodel. Gesins-taxi's is by sommige maatskappye beskikbaar.

Kaart van Malakka

Malakka is geensins 'n klein stad nie, maar die meeste van die hoofwerwe is op loopafstand van mekaar af en word die beste te voet verken. Wees bedag daarop om nie verkeer te hou terwyl u foto's van geboue neem nie. Die plaaslike bevolking het oor die algemeen 'n goeie ryvermoë en hou hulle by verkeerswette.

Per monorail

'N Monorail-stelsel van 1,6 km verbind die Taman Rempah-stasie met die Hang Tuah-stasie. Daar is 'n monorail-baan langs die rivier, maar vanaf Desember 2018 is dit nie beskikbaar nie.

Met die motor

Strate in die ouer / historiese deel van die stad is baie smal, en dit raak vinnig tydens spitstye verstop. Dit is veral gedurende die naweke wanneer motors van ander dele van Maleisië en van Singapoer na die stad oorstroom. Dit is ook baie moeilik om naweke 'n parkeerterrein te vind. Die meeste paaie is ook eenrigting, dus beplan u roete behoorlik.

Met die taxi

Vermy indien moontlik taxi's en gebruik Uber- of Grab-ritte per e-groet. Daar is bekend dat taxi's onbeskof en aggressief is en weier om meters te gebruik en passasiers te veel te laai. Gehuurde taxi's kos ongeveer RM20 om oral in die stad te ry, terwyl 'n rit per e-pos minder as die helfte van die prys kan wees vir 'n baie veiliger en skoner motor en bestuurder.

Met die bus

  • Stadsbus Malakka 17: Melaka Sentrale terminale na die historiese kern, Mahkota Parade, Melaka Raya en die Portugese nedersetting. Die tarief van Melaka Sentral na Makhota Parade is RM1,50 tot 2,00 (Augustus 2018). Die laaste bus vanaf Melaka Sentral vertrek om 20:30, waarna u 'n taxi moet neem wat RM25 na Mahkota Parade kos, of Uber / Grab vir RM8. Om bus nr. 17 by Melaka Sentral te vind, moet u 'n blou bordjie met die naam "Huishoudelike busse" soek of iemand vra waar dit is. Die binnelandse busgebied is aan die agterkant van die Sentral Terminal geleë. Die binnelandse terminaalafdeling is 'n halwe sirkelreëling met parkeerplekke vir busse genommer 1 tot 18. Vir die nr. 17-busse na die historiese kern, moet u na die busbus 17 gaan. Net binne die deure waarheen openbare busse vertrek, is 'n klein lessenaar vir inligting. Op pad terug vanaf Makhota Parade gaan bus 17 langs die hoofweg (Jalan Syed Abdul Aziz of Lebuhraya Coastal) na die suide van die Makhota Parade-winkelsentrum, oor die groot brug oor die hawe en draai dan noord op die pad met dieselfde naam en weer regs na Jalan Kubu voordat jy langs die Tamil Kerk langs Jonkers Walk stop. Vanaf hierdie stop neem dit 10-15 minute terug na die busstasie in plaas van 1 uur as u dit andersom neem. Om vanaf Melkerstraat na Melaka Sentral te kom, stap na die noordekant van Jonkier St, na 'n bushalte oorkant die Tamil Methodist Church (Perhentian Julan Kubu) of buite die Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTM) City Campus op Jalan Hang Tuah en neem bus 17 (RM1, 10 minute).
  • Stadsbus Malakka 8: Melaka Sentral na Town Square vir RM1.
  • Stadsbus Malakka 18: Melaka Sentral Terminal na Tengkera en verder na Pokok Mangga
  • Stadsbus Malakka 19: Melaka Sentral Terminal na Ayer Keroh (Melaka Zoo en Taman Asean / Maleisië). Die tarief van Melaka Sentral na Ayer Keroh (Melaka Zoo en Taman Asean / Maleisië) is ongeveer RM3
  • Stadsbus Malakka 50: Melaka Sentral Terminal na die Mahkota Parade-winkelsentrum en nabygeleë seekosrestaurante
  • Kenderaan Aziz (rooi en wit): Busse van Melaka Sentral na Muar via Padang Temu gaan ook verby die historiese kern, Mahkota Parade en Melaka Raya

Oor die algemeen is die busstelsel in Malakka erger as chaoties: daar blyk nie 'n skedule te wees nie ('n mens kan langer as 'n uur wag vir 'n bus aan die kus net noord van Malakka), en inligting oor waar en watter busse jy moet haal by Sentral bestaan ​​nie (jy kan gelukkig wees om na die gedrukte papiervertonings naby die voorkant van die busse te kyk).

Ander

  • Trishaws, kompleet met skitterende popmusiek en vals blomme, is beskikbaar vir kort reise tussen toeristeplekke of sirkeltoere. Die bestuurders is baie vrolik en vriendelik. Die lopende tarief is RM40 per uur, maar betaal enige prys vooraf.
  • Fiets, huur 'n fiets of sluit aan by fietsry toergroep, sien die Doen afdeling vir fietsryhuur en groepe. Sommige van die koshuise, huisvestings en hotelle bied hul gaste lening of verhuur vir plaaslike besienswaardighede. Belangrike plaaslike besienswaardighede het 'n uitgebreide interne pad- of spoorstelsel wat gereeld fietse beskikbaar het.
  • Rivierboot : Melaka River Cruise bied 'n 'hop-on hop-off'-diens (RM30 / dag), maar verwag gedurende besige tye (veral naweekaande) nie om êrens anders te gaan sit as naby die kaartjiekantoor nie.

Die ouer deel van die stad het, benewens die ou paleis en die groot geboue wat die Europeërs nagelaat het, baie privaat huise en winkels van byna 'n eeu of meer gelede ook deur Chinese handelaars opgerig. Baie hiervan het pragtige besonderhede soos gevormde porselein teëls en geverfde gips reliëfs aan die voorkant. Ongelukkig is dit meestal nie goed bewaar nie en het die stadsregering besluit om al die geboue in die historiese distrik 'n paar jaar gelede 'n helder baksteenrooi te verf, aangesien die voortdurende spoeg van verbygangers 'n oorlas was wat afbreuk doen aan hul estetiese waarde .

Op Dinsdae is baie museums, winkels en restaurante gesluit, veral in die Jonkerstraat-omgewing. As u net een dag in Malakka deurbring, moenie op 'n Dinsdag gaan nie!

Koop

Malacca is famed for its antiques, with many a beautiful shophouse interior now filled to the brim with artefacts from all around the Asia Pacific region. Your chances of finding a bargain here are minimal though; prices in many of the tourist-oriented places are absurdly high by any standard, and although many items are touted as being 'more than a hundred years old', most is brand new but 'aged' at the back of the shops.

For restaurants, cafes and dining see the Eet section below.

When it's mentioned 'homemade' here,they really mean it literally. There's no other homemade delicacies in Malacca that can beat this place as both its production and location are authentically traditional.

All are freshly made on the spot. Highly recommended is the ondeh-ondeh (green glutinous rice flour ball with coconut sugar (Gula Melaka) stuffing). 

Eet

Besides the usual Malaysian fare, you'll be able to sample some rather peculiar Malaccan food. On top of the list is of course Peranakan or Baba-Nyonya food, which used to be totally uncommercialised and confined to the kitchens of old grandmothers. Now, there is a string of restaurants claiming to serve Peranakan food, but most unfortunately seem to be on the tour bus circuit. The dishes are slightly different from those of the Penang Peranakan. Usual ones include ayam pongteh (chicken in bean sauce, originally cooked with pork), ayam buah keluak (chicken cooked with a bitter fruit) and a whole array of desserts. Another famous Malacca dish is what is commonly called "chicken rice ball". Although it is called Hainanese chicken rice, it is not from Hainan, China, but invented by the Hainanese immigrants to Malaysia a long time ago. The chicken for this dish is very much the same as the boiled chicken offered throughout Malaysia; what is unique is the rice - it comes in ping-pong sized balls. Yet another Malaccan speciality is satay celup. It is like lok-lok found in other parts of the country but instead of dipping your skewered food (fishballs, crabsticks, meat, prawns, etc.) into boiling water, you dip them into a boiling vat of satay sauce. The sight of boiling satay sauce may not appeal to you but the crowds at the satay celup outlets seem to suggest that many have overcome their phobias.

Of course, Malacca is where you'll find Portuguese-Eurasian food. The greatest concentration of outlets is at the Portuguese Settlement. Seafood is popular, as are the fiery "devil curries".

For local Malay delicacies, worth trying:

  • Asam Pedas ("sour hot"), the signature dish of the state. A very hot and mildly sour fish curry accompanied by white rice. Normally eaten during lunch and dinner. From RM4.50.
  • Sambal Belacan, very spicy local chilli prawn paste.
  • Cencaluk, can be found sold along the roads near Klebang Beach. Made of fermented krills. A bit weird tasting for those who are not used to it.
  • Lemang, glutinous rice cooked in bamboo, sold on the side of the road to Teluk Mas.
  • Ikan Bakar (baked fish), head to Umbai, Pernu or Serkam for a dinner of fresh caught grilled fish and crustaceans.
  • Kuih Udang (shrimp cakes), you can find this popular tea time dish in Alor Gajah town. The sauce is nice too.
  • Kuih-muih, traditional cakes and deserts like dodol, wajik, lempok, inang-inang, gula melaka and many more are sold in shopping malls at Bandar Hilir, Klebang Beach and kampung areas throughout the state.

Other local but not typically Malay food:

  • Roti John, an invented omelette sandwich, very popular among the Malays. For a good one, look for the restaurant in Tanjung Kling.
  • Local burger, the street stall vendors, generally local Malay men serve quite tasty and satisfying burgers and hotdogs and it's cheaper than ordinary fast food restaurants too.

The tourism boom has seen many new food and beverage outlets open in Malacca, and especially in the heritage area of Jonker and Heeren Street. However, competition is great and some outlets fail to survive. Places you discover on your first visit may not be around anymore on your second.
