A biking tour around historic Melaka, Malaysia (Riding our bicycles in UNESCO heritage city Malacca)

This is a travel video from a bicycle tour we took around the historic UNESCO heritage city of Melaka (Malacca), Malaysia early in the morning before it became unbearably hot and humid. Malacca is definitely a pedestrian friendly city; however, considering how spread out it is, an even better way to cover my territory in a short period of time is to rent/borrow a bicycle from your guesthouse. Almost all guesthouses offer bicycles for rent (some even provide bikes for free) which you can be assigned for the day, week or even month. Malacca is one of the most hot and humid cities I've ever visited anywhere in SE Asia. Thus, waking up early to beat the high heat and chaotic traffic is highly recommended.

We noticed many crumbling colonial mansions and Chinese lanterns. Also, there were plenty of cats and dogs lounging around that we stopped to pet. Upon crossing Melaka River (Malacca River) we observed the scenic riverside views before heading along the more central areas of the city nearby the many malls and central pier. Malacca was granted World Heritage City status in 2008. Considering it is one of my favorite cultural HUBS in all of SE Asia, I'm surprised it took this long to receive such a distinction. If Malaysia is one of the most under-rated countries I've ever visited, Malacca is certainly the most under-rated of all the cities in the country. In total, we covered - on our bicycles - in an hour what may have took half (or even a full) day to tackle by foot. Overall, it was a wonderful way to see the many attractions in Melaka, Malaysia and we highly recommend hopping on bike to tour the city as one of the the top things to do in Malacca. Ini adalah video perjalanan dari lawatan basikal kami mengambil di sekitar bandar warisan UNESCO bersejarah Melaka ( Melaka ), Malaysia pada awal pagi sebelum ia menjadi teramat panas dan lembap. Melaka memang sebuah bandar yang mesra pejalan kaki , namun , memandangkan bagaimana merebak ia adalah , satu cara yang lebih baik untuk melindungi wilayah saya dalam tempoh yang singkat masa untuk menyewa / meminjam basikal dari rumah tamu anda. Hampir semua rumah-rumah tamu menawarkan basikal untuk disewa (malah ada yang menyediakan basikal secara percuma) yang anda boleh diberikan untuk hari , minggu atau bulan. Melaka merupakan salah satu bandar yang paling panas dan lembap yang pernah saya melawat mana-mana sahaja di Asia Tenggara . Oleh itu, bangun awal untuk menewaskan haba yang tinggi dan trafik huru-hara amat disyorkan. Dalam perjalanan tertentu kami , kami bermula di Chinatown (khususnya Jonker Street) penggulungan cara kita melalui banyak back- lorong-lorong dan jalan-jalan sempit. Kami perasan banyak rumah-rumah besar runtuh penjajah dan tanglung Cina. Juga, terdapat banyak kucing dan anjing berehat di yang kami berhenti untuk haiwan peliharaan. Setelah menyeberangi Sungai Melaka (Sungai Melaka) kami memerhatikan pandangan tepi sungai yang indah sebelum menuju sepanjang kawasan lebih tengah bandar berdekatan pusat membeli banyak dan dermaga pusat. Melaka telah diberi status Bandar Warisan Dunia pada tahun 2008. Memandangkan ia adalah salah satu hab budaya kegemaran saya di semua SE Asia , saya terkejut ia mengambil masa yang lama untuk menerima apa-apa perbezaan. Secara keseluruhannya, ia adalah satu cara yang baik untuk melihat pelbagai tarikan di Melaka, Malaysia dan pengunjung dinasihatkan melompat di atas basikal pelancongan bandar sebagai salah satu daripada perkara-perkara atas untuk melakukan di Melaka. http://nomadicsamuel.com/video-blog/bicycle-tour-malacca This is part of our Travel in Malaysia series.
