The iconic Red Clock Tower
#malaka The Malacca Red Clock Tower or Menara Jam Merah Melaka.
📍Located in the middle of iconic red square of Banda Hilir of Malacca, the Tan Beng Swee clock tower or famously known as the Red Clock Tower.
👉🏻 Actually this clock tower is not built by any of the colonial power, despite the surrounding are the historic buildings or remnants. However instead, the clock tower was built by a rich Chinese family in remembrance of their patriarch, Tan Beng Swee.
👉🏻 The clock tower still functions well and it will chime every hour of the day. Now become the famous place for photographs.

Must visit the World Heritage Park
#malaka I must say that if anyone come to Malacca especially to go to Jonker Street, one must not miss to visit this place; Jonker Walk World Heritage Park or Taman Warisan Dunia Jonker Walk ! 🤩
👉🏻 There is an iconic statue flexing muscle which is statue of Datuk Wira Gan Boon Leong, the prominent ex body-builder in Malaysia. He was the Chairman of Jonker Walk whereby was entrusted by the State government to preserve tradition and promoting culture of multiracial living in Jonker street although most were Chinese and Baba Nyonya descendants.

Unique Double Equilateral Archways 🌙
#malaka Malacca Straits Mosque or Masjid Selat Melaka is located in an island off the coast of Melaka.
🤩I must say that the mosque has unique architectural design especially its gigantic double equilateral archways. It’s amazing!
The mosque is big and has two separate sections for male and female. Mosque is Clean and have adequate facilities for muslim to perform prayers & clean toilets. Ample parking outside.
For non-muslims or tourists, there is a dress code to follow if to enter the mosque area or inside the building, but not up to prayer hall. Nevertheless, you can walk around outside and take photos.
👉🏻 I suggest a quick tour here to observe the unique architecture and islamic engraving of the mosque.

A must visit to Taming Sari Tower🤩
#malaka Menara Taming Sari or Taming Sari Tower is one of major attraction in Banda Hilir, the historical city of Malacca.
I must say that it is a wonderful experience!🤩 for me to enjoy the panoramic views across the city center at the highest peak of 105m or 24 floors! The 360 view through the Taming Sari Tower lasted for 7-10minutes.
👉🏻Since there is only one tower, so on weekends or school holidays will be crowded with visitors and long que to get into the tower.
Suggestion: buy from Klook apps rather than purchase at walk in counter so you can skip queu and can get discount via Klook apps.
There is limited parking near Taming Sari Tower so it’s better to book e-hailing car (Grab or Taxi is famous here).
Ticket price: Adult RM17, Children RM11.
👍🏻 Worth the visit! Different panoramic views during the day and night.
