28 Dec 2022: Walk along the river bank, stop at a cafe or detour to Jonker Street or Dutch Square; this is a place you want to be…plenty of happening. 08 Dec 2019: Walk down the nostalgic heart of Malacca and reach out to many historical places. Take a stroll in the evening…the night scene is very colorful.

I went at night and the river lights are very colourful. There are many tourists sitting next to the river for beer while enjoying the music.
