- Central Melaka District - Known as the unofficial historical capital of Malaysia, Malacca has served as a bridge between the east and west for over 500 years. It was here that colonial powers first engaged with Malaysia, shaping the country’s current economic and political landscape. Today, Malacca is a charming city filled with heritage buildings, ancient landmarks, and colonial architecture.
The influences of British, Dutch, and Portuguese forces are still visible in the forts, museums, churches, and towers. Many visitors appreciate Malacca’s relaxed atmosphere and timeless charm. Life moves at a leisurely pace with independent restaurants and cafes occupying Chinese shopfronts, alongside traditional Malay villages. Jalan Hang Jebat, or Jonker Walk, is a delightful area to explore, with centuries-old shop-houses offering everything from captivating antiques to unique local products.

Standing 50 feet tall, the tower was built in 1886 by Tan Jiak Kim, a Peranakan Chinese philanthropist, to fulfill his father Tan Beng Swee’s dream of a clock tower in the heart of Melaka. Tan Jiak Kim constructed the clock tower at the Stadthuys building for maximum prominence.
- Harmony Street Sdn. Bhd. - Known as Harmony Street in Malacca’s Chinatown (officially Jalan Tokong Besi), it earned its nickname from the trio of fascinating religious sites found here.

The 18th-century Sri Poyyatha Vinayagar Moorthi Temple is Malaysia’s oldest Hindu temple. The third place of worship is Kampung Kling Mosque, notable for its pagoda-like architecture, although not the oldest mosque in Malaysia (that title goes to Masjid Kampung Hulu, also in Malacca, built by the Dutch in 1728).
- Cheng Hoon Teng Temple - Highlights include:
Cheng Hoon Teng Temple
This is the only temple where you can find the three major doctrines of local Chinese belief under one roof: Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism.

Kampung Kling Mosque - Kampong Kling Mosque is an historic mosque in Malacca, located on Jalan Tukang Emas (Goldsmith Street), also known as “Harmony Street” due to its proximity to the Sri Poyatha Moorthi Temple and Cheng Hoon Teng Temple.
The original structure, built by Indian Muslim traders in 1748, was a wooden building. In 1872, it was reconstructed in brick. The mosque is one of the traditional mosques in Melaka, retaining its original design. - Sri Pogyatha Vinoyagar Moorthi Temple - One of the oldest functioning Hindu temples in Maritime Southeast Asia, the Sri Poyyatha Vinayagar Moorthi Temple (sometimes simply called Sri Poyyatha Temple) was built in 1781 and is considered the oldest Hindu Temple in Malaysia. This 230-year-old structure is located in the heart of Malacca’s old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is situated in Malacca Chinatown, specifically on Jalan Tukang Emas, part of what many tourists call Harmony Street, as it hosts several places of worship from different religions — the Cheng Hoon Teng Temple (Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism), the Xiang Lin Si Temple (Buddhism), and Kampung Kling Mosque (Islam).
