I am taking this opportunity to walk around the day before around Jonker street area. We stay at Hotel Puri, one of a famous Baba Nyonya peranakan mansion and the environment is really amazing. Then we walk upward along Jalan Tan Cheng Lock and reach the entrance of Jonker street night market. We quickly visit the oldest temple at Melaka, Cheng Hoon Teng Temple which is worth the visit.
Then a little further walk down the road of Jalan Tokong would be Kampung Kling mosque. I believe the mosque is hidden from the attraction as it is not really noticeable when the crowded night market are lighting up along the whole Jonker. We had our dinner opposite Jonker boutique hotel near the stage.
After dinner we walk around until the river bridge mouth near famous Chung Wah chicken rice shop and we took a Melaka river cruise along the Melaka river for the price of RM10 per person. Along the river you will see the heritage house along the river but bare in mind that this river cruise cannot compare to romantic river cruise like Venice as it might be crowded with local family or tourist on the cruise. Put your expectation a little lower and enjoy the heritage of Melaka as a tourist.
We continue our heritage walk the next day during our photo shooting. We started at 7:30am from Puri hotel to Stadthuys, namely the red administrative area by Dutch and we proceed up until St Paul church for our 1st shooting location. Walking down to the other side would be A’Famosa the famous Portuguese ruin fortress but we skip that place for our 2nd location. We went back to Hotel Puri for our 2nd location shooting and had our lunch at the hotel restaurant. The whole hotel is really vintage and antique.
Our 3rd location shooting would be a beach out of town namely Klebang beach. Our Melaka trips are indeed a fruitful result.
