A Complete Guide to a One-Day Tour in Malacca: Play It This Way on Your First Visit

After Malaysia introduced a visa-free policy, there's one more spontaneous overseas destination you can jet off to from China! Besides the incredibly tempting islands🏝️ (yes, I'm dying to go🥹), this note recommends a vibrant little town—Malacca❗️ 🌟【Recommended One-Day Itinerary】 1️⃣First stop is the 【Dutch Square】, where the buildings around the square are mostly red🏠, making it a great spot for photos! 2️⃣Then head to 【St. Paul's Hill】 near the Dutch Square for a walk. It involves a bit of a climb, but you'll get a panoramic view of Malacca～ 3️⃣For lunch, try the local specialty 【Nyonya Cuisine】😋. BABA House is recommended for its authentic taste! 4️⃣After lunch, take a ride to the 【Malacca Straits Mosque】🕌. This mosque situated over the sea is really beautiful, and if you arrive in the afternoon, you can also watch the sunset, which is quite special～ p.s. Women need to wear a local headscarf🧕 5️⃣For dinner, give Satay Celup a try! BAN LEE SIANG is recommended～ or you could go for the unique Hainanese Chicken Rice! 6️⃣After dinner, take a stroll through 【Jonker Street Night Market】 to experience the local life. It's really lively at night～ and you'll see a lot of Chinese haha! 📸【Photo Spots Recommended】 When in Malacca, of course, you'll want to take beautiful photos! Here are a few spots that are great for photography👇 1️⃣Dutch Square: The color scheme here is red and pink, so it's suggested to wear light-colored clothes to avoid clashing too much～ 2️⃣Jonker Street: This is a more local and characteristic night market. It's recommended to stay near Jonker Street for convenience❗️ 3️⃣St. Paul's Church: Located on a hill, it requires a bit of climbing, but personally, it feels like a light hike and isn't too tiring～ 4️⃣Malacca Straits Mosque: The scenery here is really photogenic! But remember to respect local religious customs when taking portraits, and women should wear headscarves😉
