Soaking Up History, Eats & Vibes in Melaka đ Just spent some time in Melaka and wowâif youâre into heritage, drool-worthy street snacks, and quirky finds (hello, turtle-shaped lamps!), this city brings the goods. Think colorful architecture, riverside strolls, and all the delicious local treats you can carry. Top Spots to Visit: 1. Jonker Walk Melaka (75200 Malacca, Malaysia) This is the absolute must-do. Wander the bustling main street any day or hit the weekend night market for max energy. Youâve got souvenir stalls, antiques, and food carts sizzling up everything from chicken rice balls to pandan layer cake. Best tip: Go hungry and pace yourself! Some stalls are cash-only, so bring small bills. 2. Snap architecture pics đş Melakaâs center is packed with Western-style and modern buildingsâjust walk along the riverside or slip into tiny alleys. Youâll spot colorful shophouses, quirky flowers out front, and maybe a funky turtle lamp waiting on a table inside. Personal tip: If the weather flips rainy, grab shelter in a riverside cafĂŠ and watch the world go by with an iced kopi. Getting Around The old town is super walkable, but rickshaws (trishaws) are everywhere for fun, easy lifts. Need longer rides? Try Grab for simple e-hailing. Food Musts Sample everything! Start with satay skewers on Jonker Walk, grab a refreshing cendol (shaved ice dessert), and donât forget Malaccaâs signature chicken rice balls. Save space for local durian puffs if you dare. Quick Tips Weather shifts quicklyâbring a hat and umbrella. Most places take cash only. Melaka loves souvenirs, so leave bag space. #MelakaMagic #JonkerWalkEats #SoutheastAsiaFinds #TravelTips #tripdotcom

Exploring Beijing and Shanghai? This trip gave major city vibes â think riverside strolls, cutting-edge buildings, and chill coffee breaks âď¸đď¸ Hereâs my guide to the best spots I found in Shanghai! Top Spots to Visit in Shanghai: 1. The Bund (Zhongshan East Road, Huangpu District) Must-visit for sunset or night views! Stroll along the Huangpu River and catch epic skyline shots (totally Instagrammable). Itâs open all day, so no rush â just go when the light is right. Tip: Visit during weekdays in the late afternoon to avoid crowds! 2. 1000 Trees This modern architectural wonder is where art and nature fuse â the buildingâs exterior is literally bursting with greenery. Bring a camera, especially on sunny days (makes those Nature-Vision/Architecture-Vision shots pop!). There are rivers and outdoor art installations nearby for chilling out or people-watching. Quick Tips from My Experience: If youâre craving a break, find a cool indoor coffee shop â there are plenty near The Bund with authentic Chinese wall dĂŠcor. A perfect spot for some chill time or to edit travel snaps! Getting Around: Metro is fast, reliable, and cheap! Get a Shanghai metro card at any station. The Bund and 1000 Trees are accessible via public transit â just plug the locations into your maps app for the nearest stop. Food: Hit local coffee shops for a uniquely Shanghai vibe (some serve stellar matcha lattes). For dinner, check out riverside spots along The Bund for a view with your meal. Travel Essentials: No visa needed for short stops if youâre eligible for the 144-hour transit policy, but double-check before you go. Always carry some cash and a translation app â it makes everything smoother! #ShanghaiVibes #ModernChina #TravelTips #CityBreak #tripdotcom#china_diaries #chinatrip
