CHENG HO'S CULTURAL MUSEUM
Information
This
museum was set up in honour of a Chinese Ming Dynasty admiral called Cheng Ho
or Zheng He.
This
famed explorer made seven voyages of exploration, leaving his mark in the
Middle
East, Africa and South East Asia between 1405 and 1433. Five of these
voyages brought
him through Melaka, a port he is said to have founded.
These
voyages made a significant impact on Melaka's regionally important role in
history.
As a confidante to the third Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Cheng Ho had
a weighty influence
on Chinese International Relations of the day.
In
the mid-15th Century, he was entrusted to bring the Emperor's daughter,
Princess
Hang Li Po to marry the Sultan of Melaka. The Princess' entourage
consisted of several
hundred sons of ministers and handmaidens, a group of
people who eventually intermarried
with locals in Melaka, creating the Baba
Nyonya culture.
Lately,
some interest has been generated about a belief that Cheng Ho kept a warehouse
in Melaka. One of the dilapidated buildings in the old part of Melaka town,
showing remnants of Ming style architecture, is thought to be the old warehouse
in question and is now the site of
the Cheng Ho Museum.
The
exhibition space displays the life and times of the historic Admiral. Rooms
like Tea House and Treasure Ship Living Cabin will take you back in time, and
offer you a glimpse of Cheng
Ho's lifestyle.
Studies
of the adventures of this Muslim eunuch are fascinating and the social impact
of his voyages can still be felt to this day.

Ho Museum is on Jalan Hang Jebat, close to the Tan Kim Seng Bridge. Because of

HOMESTAY SERI TANJUNG
Information
Come
experience the village, or kampung, way of life first-hand. And there's no
better place to do this than staying in a village that has twice been the
winner of the National Beautiful Village competition. Warm, hospitable,
tight-knit communities offer the best home-cooked meals and are eager to share
their customs and traditions with visitors. Beautiful scenery is part of
village life - slanted coconut trees that pierce the bright blue sky and line
red dirt roads add to the enlightening and fun-filled experience.
You
will be invited to participate in animal husbandry and farming, if you want a
hands-on experience. It is common for children to play traditional games in the
cool, late afternoon. They will eagerly teach you these games, but be prepared
to lose gracefully to these expert players. This is village life at its best!
The
villagers will organise traditional performances such as Silat, the Malay
martial arts, or traditional top spinning. This is the perfect way to learn
about Malaysian culture and get to know Malaysians.
