SuperStar Virgo Shore Excursions:

VMAL-1G – Discover Malacca And Kuala Lumpur

Visit St. Paul’s Hill Complex, the Independence Memorial, Porta de Santiago and the ruins of St. Paul’s Church before heading to the Dutch Square. Discover the Stadhuys, the Tan Beng Swee Clock Tower, Queen Victoria Fountain and Christ Church. Next in the agenda is Cheng Hoon Teng Temple, the oldest Chinese temples in the country. It was built in 1646 with materials shipped here from China. Fine workmanship is evident in the ornate decorated mythological figures, carvings, and lacquer work inside the temple. Head to Jonker Street where authentic artefacts and relics, some dating as far as 300 years, can be found among a host of interesting collectibles, each with its own history and mystery.

Next, head to the Baba-Nyonya Heritage Museum, the ancestral home of three generations of a Straits-born Chinese Baba family. The building is now converted into a stunning museum that preserves the unique legacy of the Babas. The Babas combine Chinese and Malay culture, a result of marriages between early Chinese settlers and local Malay women. Over the years, a distinct culture called the Baba Nyonya or Peranakan culture emerged. Stop for lunch before heading for a photo stop at the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur – one of the world's tallest buildings. Finally visit Petaling Street (Chinatown), this colourful street of shops, restaurants and hawker stalls bustles with vitality. Flanking both sides of this street are shops selling anything from textiles to Chinese herbal medicines.
