Spent 2 days in Kuala Lumpur, and on the 3rd day went to Malacca
Jumped into the Strait of Malacca from the Chinese textbook!

Transportation
Kuala Lumpur TBS station – Malacca station, about 2 hours
Chose KKKL, bought tickets in advance on the Easybook app, exchanged for paper tickets offline
The seats are indeed very comfortable, you can lie down like a boss, and also charge your devices~

Itinerary
13:00 Arrived at Malacca station
13:30 Took a taxi to Jonker Street, had lunch at Chang Sheng Tea Room
This place is really delicious! Recommended Kaya toast with half-boiled eggs! You can order in Chinese, and the prices are not expensive!
14:10 Walked around Jonker Street: many eateries, colorful houses that are also very pretty
14:40 Nyonya Heritage Museum: ticket 10 RM per person, also comes with 1 tile.

It’s a three-section house, the architecture is unique, and the lighting is great. There are various antiques, Tang Sancai, oil lamps… all available for purchase!
15:20 Baba Nyonya Heritage Museum: ticket 18 RM per person. This one is relatively more luxurious, old money style. Both are worth a visit
16:00 Dutch Square: Red House Square, red buildings, good for photos
16:30 St.

Paul’s Church: need to climb a hill, but it takes only 10 minutes to get up, where you can overlook the Strait of Malacca
17:00 A Famosa: a small gate, can take a quick photo
17:40 Geographer Cafe
19:30 Took a bus back to Kuala Lumpur, about 2 hours as well. There’s a 0.7 RM handling fee for exchanging tickets~

Due to a heavy rainstorm in the evening,
Did not manage to go to the floating mosque ️
But overall, Malacca gave me a very comfortable feeling
A leisurely and beautiful seaside town, with various colorful houses, murals…
Chinese elements everywhere, easily blending in with the locals! Can basically speak Mandarin!
Sunny Malacca is especially beautiful~
When it rained heavily, it felt like an apocalyptic town hahaha
And thanks to the kind Chinese uncle I met



I totally get why Malacca wins for culture lovers. KL feels more modern and commercial, while Malacca’s historic feel and local vibe are hard to beat. The food in Malacca was also a standout!
