MALACCA, THE HISTORICAL CITY

Hello everybody...
thanks for visiting my blog and i would like to express my feeling regarding one of the beautiful states in Malaysia especially with it`s history, namedly Malacca.
It`s located in West Peninsular Malaysia and just about two hours travellling to from Kuala Lumpur International Airports (KLIA) and just about ten minutes from the newly upgraded airport of Batu Berendam, Malacca.
The city of Melaka is divided into the new and old sections. The older part of the city is fairly compact and has many historical and cultural attractions tucked into the nooks and crannies of its narrow streets.
Much of the remnants of Melaka's glorious past lie within the Town Square and waterfront area near the river.
Just above the Town Square is St. Paul's Hill (Bukit St. Paul) which is the site of the original Portuguese fort of A'Famosa and St. Paul's Church.
There is a sign-posted heritage trail which visitors can follow to visit all the historical places in the old part of town. The new section of Melaka lies across the Melaka River and is mostly built on land reclaimed from the sea. It consists of modern shopping centres like the Mahkota Parade and is a bustling food and entertainment district.
Outside Melaka town, there are a some nice beaches, two excellent offshore islands with resorts and a golf course. The Air Keroh district is close to the North-South Expressway and has many recreational theme parks. There`s so much places that tourist can enjoy their historical moment and beautiful view of sunset near the beach, and one of them is Tanjung Bidara beach. It was located near Masjid Tanah, in the district of Alor Gajah. It takes about half an hour from Batu Berendam Airports, Malacca.
