Malacca : Malacca (or Melaka is it is now known) was once filled with the billowing sails of trading ships as Europeans, Indians and Chinese traded spices, silks, opium and tobacco along the east – west trade route. Malacca still retains the flavour of its historic past in the streets, buildings and ambiance of the town. Attractions include the Maritime Museum with a life-size replica of an old Portuguese galleon, St John’s Fort, Jonker Street – a haven for antique hunters and the Baba & Nonya centre – a blend of Malay and Chinese culture. Easily accessible from KL by train, Malacca is worth at least an overnight stay.

Bukit Cina : The largest and oldest Chinese graveyard outside of China, Bukit Cina (also known as Chinese Hill) is the ancestral burial ground of Malacca’s early Chinese settlers. These days the 25-hectare hillside, which plays host to over 12,500 graves as well as 20 Muslim tombs, is also one of state’s most popular jogging tracks. In the mid-15th century, when Sultan Mansur Shah (1444 – 1459) of Malacca married the daughter of the Chinese Ming emperor, she brought along a vast retinue of over 500. As a direct result of this vast influx, the area has remained a largely Chinese-dominated locale ever since. Besides the numerous graves dating back to the Ming dynasty, worthwhile sightseeing attractions here include the old Chinese Temple, Sam Poh Keng, and the Perigi Rajah (Hang Li Poh Well).
