My father was worried about me travelling alone, so he went to TPE airport with me to remind me of travelling safely.
After arriving at Low Cost Carrier Terminal, taking a bus for 2.5 hours to my destination - Melaka.
In Melaka, there are many historical heritages because it was an important trading sites in the 16th century. Traders came from Arabia, China, India and Europe.
Besides, Melaka was under several foreign nations control, such as Portuguese, Dutch, British, and Japanese. As a result, Melaka is full of diverse buildings and cuisine,
Let's take an eye on the heritages.
This is St. Paul's Church, built by Portuguese captain in 1521. It is located on a hill that you may see a good view of Melaka.
After walking down from St. Paul's Church, I saw the famous Stadthuys and Christ Church. Both of the two buildings were constructed by Dutch. In fact, the Stadthuys original color was white, it was painted in red due to matching Christ Church.
Leaving from the Stadthuys, I visited the right riverside of Melaka. Cheng Hoon Teng temple is there. It's the oldest Chinese temple in Malaysia.The Chinese words(觀空自在) mean that meditation then you will get epiphany and feel free.
Except walking, riding a bike is a good way to look around Melaka.
It rained suddenly when I was riding to Portuguese Square. Just waited till rain stopped.
On the way back to hostel, I went to Pulau Melaka (man made island) to see the sunset on Straits of Melaka. The floating mosque was playing the pray of evening. In addition,the sunset there was really nice, imagined that there were many ships and trades here. At the same time, just listened to the pray and tides, it was so tranquil.
Melaka is in a slow pace so that I could really take a rest and enjoy my vacation.
