One of the best ways to explore Malacca is early in the morning to take your bike - a
lot of guesthouses have them - and just explore all around especially in the Chinatown area.
One of the reasons I'm loving Melaka so far is the crumbling Colonial architecture. A
lot of the buildings along the main road have been restored but once you start biking down
the back alleys you see places like this.
This is the river that runs through the heart of Malacca and it is a great place to go biking or even
for a stroll in the afternoon. Also, it is lined with cafes and restaurants, so if you're
ever looking for a good bite of food this is the place to come.
As of 2008 Melaka and George Town of Penang have been designated as World Heritage cities.
