#夕阳 The Straits Mosque is a famous check-in spot in recent years. Usually, if you arrive at around 5:30 pm, you can take photos of the bright mosque during the day, the beautiful mosque at dusk🕌, and the mosque with lights on. You can get all three effects at once. If you want to visit the interior of the mosque, you can pay to enter, but the interior is rather monotonous and you can't take pictures from a beautiful angle. 🕌The best place to take pictures of the mosque is the private venue of a nearby grocery store. If you buy a 5-RM drink, you can enter and take pictures for free. There is a different world inside. In order to take beautiful photos, you still have to spend five dollars, and you can also get a bottle of drink, which is also good. I strongly recommend it👍 #100 ways to travel #photo guide of scenic spots #historical monuments #most beautiful mosque #must-see in Malacca

I have turned another page of this world, this book —— Stepping into the historical and geographical Malacca🌊 ✨✨Let's talk about the things to note when going to Malacca: ✅ It is recommended to go on Fridays and weekends, as many shops are open then. Many shops are closed from Monday to Wednesday (we went on Monday and Tuesday and many places were closed) ✅ For taxis, it is suggested to use the AirAsia app, as it offers the cheapest fares. (Malacca is not big, and taxi fares are generally around 6 or 7 Malaysian Ringgit) ✅ You can book bus tickets on the red bus, the bus station is a bit far, so it's advised to allow enough time. (We bought our tickets at the self-service machine at the station when we saw a suitable time, it was not crowded and faster, the manual ticket counter is slower) ✅ Malacca is very safe, we two girls walked back after eating supper after 10 pm without worrying about danger ✅ The people of Malacca are also very nice, whether asking for directions or looking for someone to exchange money at the station, they are very enthusiastic. (I even met a local who directly helped me by giving me money, grateful heart) ✅ Malacca has a Jonker Street night market every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, which is very lively 👉Travel route: Malacca is small, and it's possible to arrange a one-day visit. We wanted to slowly experience Malacca, so we planned two days. DAY1⃣️: City citywalk: Jonker Street➡️Dutch Square➡️St. Paul's Hill➡️Sultanate Palace➡️Church of St. Paul DAY2⃣️: Boat trip on the Malacca River (30 Malaysian Ringgit per person)➡️Malacca Strait Mosque (watch the sunset) 📷Photo spots: 1⃣️Dutch Square Red House: Appreciate the Dutch architectural features, it is recommended to go to the second floor for the best shooting location 2⃣️Church of Saint Paul: Climb the hill from the Red House, about 10-15min, to see the oldest church in Malacca⛪️ and you can also overlook the sea of Malacca from above 3⃣️Jonker Street: In Hokkien, 'Jie Chang Street' is transliterated here as Jonker Street, where you can enjoy coffee, shop around (be cautious as there are many products from Yiwu), 4⃣️Malacca Strait Mosque🕌️: Don't miss this place when you come to Malacca, a good spot to watch the sunset, and also the blue Atlantic 👗👗 Girls can try the local Nyonya costume, which is quite distinctive and highly compatible with Malacca. 40 Malaysian Ringgit per set (all are washed after wearing), if you don't wear a white tank top, you will be asked to buy one.

Melaka straits mosque is one of beautiful mosques in the World. A unique mosque that appears to float on the sea. You can choose to admire the sea near the mosque or go inside to visit. If you want to go inside, there are dress codes for both men and women. If you don't meet the dress code requirements, you can go to the gate where there is a room that provides jubah and headscarves for free. After visiting, you can return them to the same place. As soon as I entered the mosque, I was struck by the intricate designs and beautiful architecture. The interior of the mosque is adorned with stunning chandeliers, stained glass windows, and elegant calligraphy. It's a good experience, and the surroundings are clean. You can enjoy the sea breeze, watch the sunset, and take some photos. Overall the scenery from the mosque is amazing. ❤️ #mymymemories #awesomepic #bestplace #bestmemory #loveit #best_trip_by_trip #bestdayever #mustgo #mustcome #happytrip

One of the most attractive attractions in Malacca is the Sea Mosque. It is recommended to come at sunset time. You can see the beauty of the mosque, the sunset and the boundless sea, which is very romantic. There are many couples checking in and taking photos here. It is recommended to take Grab to get to this place because there are not many attractions nearby and it is quite far from the city center. You can also visit the temple, but please do not wear shorts or skirts. Address: Jalan Pulau Melaka 8, 75000 Melaka, Malaysia

The floating mosque can also be called the Straits Mosque because it is located on the Strait of Malacca. The white buildings set off against the blue sky. The sea and sky are as beautiful as a painting. It is really dreamy. In addition, you must abide by the rules before entering the mosque. According to the regulations, there are robes that you can change into, and you must wear a headscarf and cover your whole body tightly. We came with a group. Thinking about it, it was actually a good idea to go with a group because we were able to visit so many famous landmarks in Malaysia, because the transportation here is not very convenient.

This golden-domed beauty is known as the Melaka Straits Mosque or Masjid Selat Melaka. It is built on the man-made Malacca Island, overlooking the Malacca Strait, one of the longest and busiest straits in the world.

You can also just sit there on the stones along the shore and wait for the sun to set. Breathtaking mosque, amazing picturesque. Location is away from busy roads hence it becomes calm, soothing and surreal experience. Best time would be sunrise 🌞 sunset ⛅

The best place to check in and take photo, especially during the sunset

I love the colorful Nanyang style of Malacca | Photographed holy place recommended! said that Malacca has not been to Malaysia. Malacca is the oldest city in the history of Malaysia. In 2008, it was listed by the United Nations as a World Cultural Heritage List, and its status is equivalent to Chiang Mai in Thailand. This trade city with a history of nearly 700 years has always been a place for colonialists because of its good nautical location and abundant spices and other resources. Zheng He went to the Western Ocean seven times and stopped there five times. It is said that the first generation of Chinese followed Zheng He from Malacca to Malaysia, and their descendants were called Nyonya. Because of this historical background, you can see the real Nanyang-style architecture in today's Malacca, and shoot a variety of Nanyang-style movies! Photo location 1[Malacca Strait Mosque] Strait Mosque is a bit far from Jonker Street. It takes about half an hour to take a taxi, but taxis are not willing to take a taxi. If you want to give the driver some money, let them wait at the door, or they can't find the car. The building is very beautiful, the white roof is golden, the multicolored glass, a beautiful building is built in the sea, and it seems to float when the water level is high.
