Baba & Nyonya Heritage Museum

5
4.4/5
130 reviews
Baba & Nyonya Heritage Museum is nestled among the row houses of Melaka's old town. It was formed by connecting several terrace houses purchased by the Chan family in the mid-19th century, where four generations of the family lived. In the mid-1980s, the family's descendants opened it as a museum. It is still managed by the Chan family descendants, which is why the museum retains a strong sense of daily life, rather than just being an exhibition hall for artifacts. The Chan family ancestors came south from Tong'an, Fujian, and settled in Melaka in the early 19th century; it has now been passed down to the seventh generation. The house's owner, Chan Cheng Siew, was a second-generation Straits-born Chinese who started by planting gambier and later switched to rubber. He was known as the "boss with glasses." The interior furnishings roughly reflect the lifestyle of such wealthy families in the late 19th to early 20th centuries. The museum's highlights are its authentic, original furnishings: the parlor displays blackwood furniture from China, inlaid with mother-of-pearl and marble, with a silk embroidery several m high hanging overhead; the hardwood staircase leading to the second floor is adorned with gold-leaf carvings; several rooms still retain custom washbasins engraved with the owner's initials; decorative elements from the Dutch, Portuguese, Malay, and British colonial periods coexist in the same room with Chinese woodwork and embroidery, serving as a direct testament to this cultural fusion.Melaka · 9.8 km from Ayer Keroh

游船大概1小时,途中还会停在一个riverside mall之类的地方,凭票可以下去玩(颠倒屋,摩天轮)然后才搭船回出发点,但是我们没有下因为之前去过了,老实说河水很臭,如果介意需谨慎下单,在Trip买票会便宜一点,剩在人多的话不用排队很方便。一路上的风景还可以,没坐过很推荐这轻松的路线

When visiting Malacca, one always wants to see the world-famous Straits of Malacca with their own eyes, to keep a promise to sail across the Straits. A special trip was made to the Floating Mosque, just to gaze upon this busy shipping lane. The sea was vast, and the sea breeze was strong. The architecture wasn't as stunning as expected, but the view of this strait was enough to leave a lasting impression. ✨

Holland Square in Malacca is a must-visit Instagrammable spot. The striking red colonial buildings stand out against the blue sky and white clouds, making for great photo opportunities. It's conveniently located on foot, not far from Jonker Street. The square itself isn't large; half an hour is enough to stroll around and take pictures. It's very popular with tourists. Nearby are fountains and an old church, offering a chance to soak up the historical atmosphere.

It's so different than all the other part of the city!You get the feeling that you are in a movie set, as the square is way different than anything you have seen in Malaysia. Enjoy it in the day, but in the night also as everything is open, night market arround the corner and split in 2 parts, one it's indian and on the other side is chinees

St. Paul's Hill is located in the heart of the Malacca Old Town World Heritage Site, near the Dutch Stadthuys and the Santiago Gate. It was once an important high ground of the Sultanate, and Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty designated it as the "National Mountain." The hill is not high; a short walk of about ten minutes up the steps leads to the summit. The view from the top is excellent, overlooking Malacca city, the Malacca River, and the Straits, making it a popular spot for sunset photography. Several small museums and the remains of a Dutch cemetery are also located nearby. At the top is St. Paul's Church (Gereja St. Paul), originally built by the Portuguese in 1521 as a church for Our Lady. In 1548, it was handed over to the Jesuits, where St. Francis Xavier preached. His body was temporarily buried here in 1553. After the Dutch occupation in 1641, it was renamed St. Paul's Church, later used as a cemetery and fortress; bullet holes are still visible in the outer walls. It is now a magnificent, roofless stone ruin. There is a white statue of Xavier in front of the church (missing his right hand); inside are scattered ancient tombstones inscribed with Portuguese/Latin; admission is free, and opening hours are the same as in the old town; the building itself is one of the oldest European colonial relics in Southeast Asia.

The Malacca River, steeped in history, has been transformed into a leisure and sightseeing destination, becoming a truly captivating tourist destination! 🤩 So, if you're in Malacca, a Melaka River Cruise is a must! ⛴ . Malacca's riverbanks are lined with beautiful flowers and plants 🌼🌿. As you cruise along, you'll see vibrant graffiti and vibrant buildings. It all feels so retro and historic, and a cruise is the perfect way to appreciate this historic city! 😆 . The view is breathtaking at night, when all the neon lights turn on, illuminating the entire river with a vibrant array of colors. 😍 Along both sides of the river, you'll find various small shops and bars, where you can see people strolling 🚶🏻, drinking and chatting 🍻, dining, and more 🍴. It's so relaxing! ✨

A cultural museum that is well worth a visit, showcasing Nyonya culture in a courtyard-style mansion that combines Chinese and Western cultures purchased in 1861. The exhibits are very detailed, all of which are used/displayed objects and cultural relics from the mid-19th century to the early 20th century. They are very well preserved and arranged as they were.

This is the most lively street in Melaka, and at night, this place comes to life. It's close to Hard Rock Cafe, and there are many street artists whom you can pose photos with. The street along Jonker Street has many tourist attraction sites and sculptures. Highly recommend for a great night out
