Cape Rachado Lighthouse is considered the oldest lighthouse in Malaysia. It stands on the famous Port Dickson beach, located about 100 meters inland on the hilltop of Tanjung Tuan, surrounded by woodland. Its history dates back to the 16th century during the Portuguese rule of Malacca. The Portuguese established the site after capturing Malacca in 1511, and the lighthouse was initially built to guide their ships through the strait. The current lighthouse was rebuilt in 1863, consisting of a 24-meter high circular tower with a lantern and balcony. Another tower, completed in 1990, was constructed with reinforced concrete to monitor ship traffic in the Strait of Malacca and assist communication at the top of the structure. This makes the lighthouse an ideal spot for bird watching. Access to the lighthouse is only possible by walking up the stairs: a spiral staircase with 72 steps and a stone staircase located behind the lighthouse, which is a convenient path to the lighthouse. Transportation: It takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes from Kuala Lumpur. If you take the train to Seremban station, it takes about 40 minutes by car rental or taxi.

The Turtle Conservation and Information Centre in Padang Kemunting is an essential facility dedicated to protecting sea turtles and raising awareness about their conservation. Located in Malaysia, this centre is a key player in the effort to safeguard sea turtles, which are increasingly threatened by human activities. One exciting way to experience the centre’s work is through a tour. These tours provide a unique opportunity to see sea turtles in their natural habitat and learn about their conservation firsthand. During the tour, visitors can explore the centre’s exhibits, which offer insights into the life cycles of sea turtles, their species, and the threats they face. Visitors may have the chance to see the turtle hatcheries where eggs are carefully protected until they hatch. After the baby turtles are born, they are released into the ocean as part of the centre’s efforts to boost their survival rates. These tours not only highlight the centre’s conservation efforts but also allow visitors to witness the beauty and importance of sea turtles in their natural environment. #islandtours

In a little village in Malacca called Machap Baru, there lies a petite little street within the residential area where the villagers decorated it with red lanterns and peach blossom flowers to enhance the mood of Chinese New Year. The whole stretch is covered with lots of lanterns leading from the main road to a small alley, whereby there is a replica of seats underneath the plum blossom tree decorated with colourful lights. The kindness and hospitable residence within the street makes the entire event happened and thanks to their hospitality, many visitors are able to witness such nice atmosphere of Chinese New Year. #newyearadventure

#cityplaybook 10.00 pm - We just arrived in Malacca. We were hungry and looking for the nearest eatery. 10.30 pm - We arrived at Nikmat Tomyam Seafood restaurant. Parking spaces were easy to find but quite limited. 10.40 pm - We ordered food and dined in there too. I ordered Rice with Kailan Vegetables and Tomyam Seafood. The food we ordered arrived, the food was really delicious and the Tom Yam was also quite tasty. This restaurant is really comfortable. It is an open-air restaurant like a warung. 11.30 pm - We were happy to be able to try the cuisine in Melaka on our first day of arrival before returning to check in to the homestay.

Tanjung Tuan (Cape Rachado Lighthouse) Hiked through the forest to the iconic lighthouse! The view of the ocean from up there is worth every step. Great mix of nature and history. 2. PD Waterfront Chilled by the sea, grabbed some snacks and enjoyed the breeze. Super relaxing spot with plenty of space to walk and unwind. 3.
