馬六甲一日遊（上）

On March 16, 2024, I took the bus to Malacca for a day trip with my friends. The ticket for 9.10am and the bus for 8am arrived at the bus station in South Lake Town in less than 10 minutes. We booked the tickets online the day before, and now we have to go to the ticket office to exchange for the paper version of the ticket. The staff said that you can use e-tickets here, but when you come back, you have to exchange for the paper version, and you have to pay for it. For safety reasons, we went to line up to exchange tickets. There are not many people in the early morning station, and it is very clean inside. The little girl queued up, and I walked around to get familiar with the environment. After the ticket was taken, our station entrance was at the 12th window below the building. Go down the stairs to find the station entrance. The hall is not very big, and there are very few people. Although I came an hour earlier, it has already taken more than half an hour to get here. So you have to make sure you have enough time to take the bus. I saw the staff scanning the e-tickets on the phone. We did a double-deck double-deck chair comfortable. When I bought the ticket, I saw that the time marked on the ticket of different companies was more than two and a half hours. I thought it would be longer on Saturday, but I didn't expect it to be very smooth, and it was two hours. This is my second time to Malacca, and the last time was at the end of July last year, and it took three days. Malacca City is the capital of Malacca, Malaysia. On July 8, 2008, the capital of Malacca City and Penang, George Town, were listed as World Heritage Sites. In 2016, Malacca became the safest residence in Malaysia. We got off the bus and followed the crowd. We walked out of the station through this market. It's 11 and a half now, and there's an event going on at the door. Some of the taxis here will open at the door, and some will stop a dozen meters away. Because the car will charge when it comes in, the guys have to look at the position of the car. We arrived at the airport in about ten minutes. Malacca is one of the most familiar cities in China. Even if you haven't been to Malacca, you must have seen it in geography books. The airport street at the heart of the old city is the oldest street in Malacca. The airport street originated from the Minnan language, and the street is also described as a busy street. And the Minnan language is synonymous with the airport, so it gradually evolved into the airport street. In addition, Malacca was once ruled by the Dutch colonists, so the airport street is also known as the Junker Walk, which refers to the Dutch nobility street. Zheng He has been to the sea for seven times, six of which visited Malacca and stayed in this area of ​​the airport street. The more than 20 streets at the heart of the airport street became one of the earliest concentrated residential areas when the Chinese moved to Nanyang. The more than 20 streets at the heart of the airport street also constitute the present Malacca Old Town, which promoted the city to become a World Heritage Site. However, the airport street began to decline in the 1990s, and many local residents moved to the new area. Many centuries-old antiques were preserved and new elements were added to the old city area, which began to be transformed into the airport street in 2000. In 2008, it was listed as a World Heritage Site by the United Nations Educational and Cultural Organization. The airport street is rich in food and is suitable for the vast majority of Chinese tourists, the most famous of which is Hainan chicken rice. This is a authentic Southeast Asian delicacy, the most famous in Singapore and Malaysia. The chicken rice of Malacca is characterized by rolling the rice into a ping-pong ball size. The airport street can be seen everywhere in various malls, the most spectacular of which is the Fujian Mall. We come out from different streets and can always go back to this place. I found two photos of Malacca Old Town on the Internet. The Dutch Square is the most famous landmark of Malacca, with the Dutch Red House, the Central Building, the Christian Church and the Victoria Fountain. The Christian Church was built by the Dutch around 1753. Standing around the Red House Historical Museum, the Red House is the oldest Dutch building in Southeast Asia. It was originally white before the 18th century, but it turned red after the rain. Later, the government happened to paint all the surrounding buildings red, and this red was called Malacca Red. The Victoria Fountain in the UK was also a fountain built in 1901. I love Malacca means I love Malacca. The Central Building was built in 1886 by Chen Jinsheng, a Chinese from Singapore, which is also the name of a minority of Chinese people. The buildings around the Red House are the most visited places in the world. After visiting the Red House, we came to the opposite airport street. The weather was too hot, so we kept drinking cold drinks and met two friends. The two of them took us to visit other streets. The oldest Chinese temple in Malaysia, Qingyun Pavilion, was built in 1646. It was the first Chinese to build a wall-to-ceiling Qingyun Pavilion. Qingyun Pavilion was originally called Guanyin Pavilion, and the main hall was dedicated to Guanyin. The entire building was built with southern wood, and four characters were written on the door. At that time, the temple was introduced to China by architects and craftsmen. It is an example of an ancient building construction project. There are three altars in the temple, one for each. In the early Chinese life in Malacca, the status of Qingyun Pavilion is equivalent to the multifunctional center of government, court, and religion. During the Puhe colonial era, the Chinese Supreme Representative had been setting up an official office in Qingyun Pavilion to deal with the lawsuits between the Chinese. Until 1911, after the British established the Chinese Civil Affairs and Public Works Department locally, the six-term suspension of sanctions ended in 1991. In September 1949, Malaysia passed a law to name Qingyun Pavilion as a promotion, promoting the common faith and maintenance of Buddhism in the Malacca Chinese community. When necessary, it should be used for social charity, humanitarian and religious work, including relief and burial. The main god in the temple, Bodhisattva Guanyin, Zotan, is the guardian god of the navigators, the Heavenly Empress. Qingyun Pavilion has undergone nearly 400 years of time and effort, six renovations and three expansions, various inscriptions, mosaics, silver curtains and Chinese ancestral tablets, which are important historical materials for studying the Malaysian Chinese society. On the roof is a magical and animal sculpture made of broken glass and porcelain, shining in the sun. It is a witness to a heavy history. Qingyun Pavilion is located on Dajin Street, which is known as the Harmony Street. On the same street, there is also the Ganbang Jining Qingzhen Temple, the Hindu New Temple. On the street where different religious sanctuaries coexist in harmony, it also symbolizes the multi-ethnic, religiously inclusive society of Malacca. As soon as I entered the door, I heard them saying Chinese, Chinese. So I followed them curiously, although I didn't understand, but I wanted to know what they were looking at. I pulled in the camera and saw the flower vase decoration in Chinese style. Under the green edge of the Chongyan Temple, each kept a happy word. In the early days, when the Chinese came to help build, they integrated the technology of happy words and cutting and pasting. Many Chinese call this place the Happy Words Qingzhen Temple. The original building of the temple is made of wood. It was built by an Indian businessman in 1748 and was converted into a brick building in 1872. It retains its original design and combines the style of Sumedala, China, Hinduism and Malacca. What is different from the traditional ball-shaped dome is that the top of the main building is a three-layer green pyramid-shaped Chongyan. The structure of the tower is like a pagoda. Combined with some Moor elements, it is a delicate example of the combination of eastern and western design. The interior is decorated with glass tiles from Britain and Portugal, and the lanterns of the Victorian era. The fusion of Indian, Chinese and Malaysian decoration elements and different architectural styles are perfectly integrated here. It was unique at that time. Before coming to the Hindu temple, I stopped because my shirt showed my shoulder. I used the lens to explore the interior at the door. Let's move on. Malacca Coastal Museum was the Iron Street era in Malacca history. The original owner of the ancient house was Li Junchang. From 1614 to 1685, it was also called the home of Li Weijing, also known as Lijia. In 1644, the Ming Dynasty fell. About two years later, in 1646, Li Junchang and his family settled in Yumaliujia, Duhai. It retains the old structure of the beam beam and tiles, which is full of retro atmosphere. The cafe inside provides some Nyonya cakes, coffee and drinks. I saw an art shop not far from the museum. Photos and videos are not allowed inside, so I can only show you this much. There are more than 20 streets in the airport, each with its own characteristics. A rough browse is not enough to understand its content. Come and experience it again when you have time. The next issue is the introduction of Malacca Coastal and food.
