Merry Melaka (2022)

Melaka, sitting astride the busy Malacca Straits is a quaint little town that fancies itself as the Venice of Asia. It has the Melaka river (more a canal) running through the town. Kitschy bridges criss-cross the canal while the dilapidated houses on its banks have reinvented themselves as homestays and hotels, gentrifying this once ancient fishing town. Street art smears the frontage of most buildings while fairy lights attempt to create a festive atmosphere. It is a UNESCO World Heritage City
