MALACCA,
with its glorious past, is undoubtedly the wealthiest when it comes to
history.
Facing the Straits of Malacca, it is a place of intriguing Chinese
streets, antique shops, old temples and reminders of European colonial
powers. The historical melting-pot of cultures and races – Malay,
Chinese, Chittys, the Baba, and Nyonya and the Portuguese, has very much
influenced the cultural designs of homes and buildings in Malacca city,
its capital.

 Christ
Church: Standing exactly as it has always been since 1753, the
church is testimony to Dutch architectural ingenuity. Commenced in
1741 to commemorate a century of Dutch rule and took 12 years to
complete. Take note of the church's 200 years old handmade pews, its 8
feet long ceiling beams constructed from a single tree without joins,
Brass Bible rest which dates back to 1773, tombstone written in
Armenian and 'Last Super' in glazed tiles.

The Hawksbill turtle is a medium sized marine turtle with a hawklike
beak and a thorny shell. Brown and likely striped, these turtles find
the ideal resting ground on the island of Upeh. One of the earth's
rarest species it lays its eggs from the month of March to June but
visitors can expect to catch sight of at least a few turtles every
night throughout the year.
