Jonker Walk - The Heart of Malacca town


Malacca’s most famous landmark, or rather, street, would definitely be Jonker Walk where a night market is held every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night. Sounds pretty in interesting right? Here, a wide range of goods are sold, from 3 for RM 10 souvenirs such as keychains, magnets, and handicrafts, to Nyonya delicacies such as pineapple tarts. There are also a lot of activities going on, in spite the night market occupying a long stretch as there are many Chinese associations opening their doors to their members to take up line dancing and karaoke lessons, and the music coming these association halls along the street also provide background music for the otherwise drone atmosphere. To those travellers out there who want to experience Malacca night life and culture, this is the perfect place to go.
