OutstandingThe Dutch billion house in Malacca is definitely a stunning travel destination! The red house was originally the colonial Dutch Governor's Mansion, and the exterior wall was a striking orange color, with the bell tower in the small square and the church marking these historical relics together, becoming a cultural heritage for all mankind. The Dutch Red House is worth a visit.
The Stadthuys Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Dutch Red House is located in the center of Dutch Square. It was built in 1650. It is said that it was originally a church, and was later changed to the city government. It is now the Malacca Museum, which houses historical relics from Malay, Portugal, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. Play Guide Today, the museum in the Red House is actually divided into six museums, displaying different historical relics, so it is called "Stadthuys Museums Complex", including the Museum of History and Ethnology (Museum Sejarahdan Etnografi), Art Museum (Museum Sastera), Education Museum (Museum Pendidikan) et al. Crossing the Malacca River Bridge to the east bank of the river, you will be greeted by a neat square with a red clock tower and a Victorian fountain. Like all fountains, there will always be tourists throwing into it. Coins to make a wish. The square is surrounded by red Dutch buildings. Facing the square is the old Red House, which is the oldest building preserved by the Dutch in the East. The Stadthuys have thick red brick walls, heavy hardwood doors, and wide stone steps in front of them. Museum Introduction The larger of the 6 museums is the History and Ethnology Museum. The main antiques are related to the past Malacca Dynasty. You can see a lot of exquisite china, turtle coins, introductions of Prime Ministers of Malaysia in various periods, models of the Dutch town of Malacca, and understand the wedding scenes of locals. Then you can visit the Educational Museum, which is much smaller in size, a miniature one. You can see the museum make miniatures of past classes. I saw the schoolbags, school shoes worn by the students at that time, and the telephones people used at that time. If you have enough time, you can also visit the art museum, which mainly exhibits many oil paintings, depicting the history and living conditions of the Malays. In addition, the Muslim Museum mainly introduces some religious history and culture about Muslims. The back door of the museum is behind the Christ Church. After the tour, you can go directly to the church to visit. In addition, there are small shops lined up along the street at the bottom of the red house, and handicrafts of the same color are richer in colors and styles. If you like, you can buy some as souvenirs.

I gave up on Thailand and visa-free Malaysia—delicious food, fun activities, and safer.💰 Per capita budget reference (5 days 4 nights, 2 adults 1 child) - Budget: 6k-8k (guesthouse + low-cost airline + local snacks) - Comfortable: 10k-15k (5-star hotel + direct flight + private car tour) ✈️ Round-trip tickets often go as low as 2k during big sales! Kuala Lumpur hotels offer great value, 200+ to stay in infinity pool apartments 🏝️ Must-visit spots · Less crowded and beautiful views 1. Kuala Lumpur Twin Towers night view + infinity pool 📍 Stay at The Face Suites, enjoy the 51st-floor sky pool for around 200 per person, perfect for photos with KL Tower 📸⚠️ Tip: Don’t buy tower tickets! The pool view is better, go after 7 PM when the lights turn on 2. Penang · Mural Street + Clan Jetties 🚲 Rent a family bike (15 MYR/hour) to find the "Brother and Sister Riding Bikes" mural, eat charcoal toast at Toong Thye Cafe 🍞🌉 Visit Clan Jetties at dusk to see the sea houses, Chaozhou grandpa opens durian on the spot, eat as much Musang King as you want! 3. Langkawi · Island hopping + Sky Bridge 🦅 Take a speedboat to feed eagles (super thrilling!), walk the glass Sky Bridge, kids scream the whole time 🏖️ Cenang Beach white sand for sand play, sunset looks like an orange sea 🍊 4. Sabah Kota Kinabalu · Mangrove fireflies 🌌 Take a boat deep into Kawa mangroves, proboscis monkeys jump on treetops, at night the riverbank glows green with fireflies, kids exclaim "like a sea of Christmas lights!" 🗺️ Lazy itinerary · 5 days deep exploration Day 1: Kuala Lumpur walking tour Photo at Twin Towers → Eat Hokkien noodles at Petaling Street → Find Peranakan ceramics at Central Market → Late-night snack at Jalan Alor (Huang Ya Wah grilled chicken wings a must-try!) Day 2: Penang artsy day ✈️ 1-hour flight to Penang → Mural Street → Upside Down Museum → Horse riding and wave playing at Batu Ferringhi Beach Day 3: Sabah wild adventure Boat from Kota Kinabalu hotel pier → Snorkeling at Mamutik Island (see clownfish right from shore!) → Sunset at Tanjung Aru Shangri-La, one of the top 3 sunsets 🌅 Day 4: Langkawi island hopping adventure Swim at Pregnant Maiden Island → Feed soaring eagles → Hidden Langkawi firefly boat tour (more exclusive than mangroves!) Day 5: Melaka mixed style Photo at Dutch Red House and Rainbow Street → Blue Tears at Melaka Straits Mosque → Eat Peranakan dishes at Wild Coriander → Night cruise on Melaka River 🍜 Food hits · Kids loved everything 🍖 Kuala Lumpur 👉 Xin Feng Bak Kut Teh: rich herbal broth, free soup refills! With fried dough sticks, kids instantly become rice champions 👉 Jalan Alor grilled chicken wings: honey + charcoal double combo, crispy skin and juicy meat! 🦐 Penang 👉 Penang Char Kway Teow: wide rice noodles + fresh shrimp + duck egg version, wok hei is amazing! Sister’s Char Kway Teow stall is the most authentic 👉 Chaozhou Cendol: palm sugar shaved ice + red beans + green jelly noodles, perfect afternoon cooling treat 🐟 Sabah Kota Kinabalu 👉 Jing Wen Tea Restaurant: wild tiger prawns bigger than your palm! 300 MYR fills the table with seafood, owner teaches kids how to peel shrimp 👉 Under the bridge durian: 10 MYR for durian freedom, local small seeds sweet like creamy ice cream 🍛 Melaka 👉 Wild Coriander Peranakan dishes: colorful hand-pulled rice + coconut milk spicy shrimp, restaurant feels like a small Peranakan museum 👉 Old Town chicken rice balls: one bite one chicken rice ball, dipping sauce so good you’ll lick the plate ⚠️ Pitfall guide: Bargain seafood market prices by half! Choose durian stalls that “open and sweeten on the spot,” avoid frozen fruit 💡 Mom’s hard-earned tips 1. Safety tips: ✅ Malaysia is very safe! But avoid walking at night near Kuala Lumpur Central Station, carry your backpack in front ✅ Use Grab for rides (linked to credit card), 50% cheaper than taxis 2. Parent hacks: - Sabah tide pooling: use bread to lure fish into water bottles, kids instantly become "underwater explorers" - Langkawi car rental: a translated driver’s license is enough to drive, stop anywhere around the island (free parking at Cenang Beach) 3. Avoid list: ❌ Genting Highlands: far away + old amusement park, not suitable for kids! ❌ Penang Kek Lok Si Temple: too many stairs, no strollers allowedExpeditionExplorers18

📍Melaka Day Trip#summervacay At this moment, the Strait of Malacca isn’t in a textbook — it’s right beneath my feet. Under the warm skies of 2°N, I wandered through the charming streets of Melaka. The breeze from the Malacca Strait, the layered history in every shophouse, the blend of Peranakan colors and colonial tales — this little town is a real-time postcard. 💌 ✨ So much to see, and somehow never enough time: Riverwalks with pops of street art A Famosa ruins holding centuries of stories Jonker Street’s smells, sounds & snacks Golden hour at the waterfront, where the sky kisses the sea 🌊 Today, Melaka wasn’t just a name in a geography book — it was real, vivid, and right beneath my feet. #Melaka #StraitOfMalacca #MalaysiaTravelChenJunLe

The Dutch billion house in Malacca is definitely a stunning travel destination! The red house was originally the colonial Dutch Governor's Mansion, and the exterior wall was a striking orange color, with the bell tower in the small square and the church marking these historical relics together, becoming a cultural heritage for all mankind. The Dutch Red House is worth a visit.
Such a lovely place to take a stroll. It is nearby the river and most famous attractions of Melacca. You can also find funny people in costumes here. Highly recommend
It was a trip to Malaysia with family. we visited Stadthuys. We had good time there and really enjoyed the atmosphere and ambiance there
There are many red houses on the Dutch Square, which are historical buildings. There are many people checking in, and the tour takes about half an hour. Next to it is the Malacca River, and opposite is Jonker Street, also known as Chinatown. There is St. Paul's Church on the back hill, and you can see the Strait of Malacca.
The Dutch Red House is a red building that has survived from the Dutch colonial period. Located on the banks of the Malacca River, the Dutch Red House was built between 1641 and 1660 and is the oldest Dutch building in Southeast Asia. It was originally a church, and later changed to a city government, the Malacca Museum, which houses historical relics from Malay, Portugal, the Netherlands and Britain. The exterior view is free, and many tourists and attractions gather here Go to check in in the afternoon when the sun is just right [proud] It is said that the red bricks used to build the Red House were specially transported from the Netherlands by the Dutch colonial government at the time. Red walls and white windows, bright colors, when you stroll along the Malacca River, this is definitely a place worth visiting, and the famous "Malacca Red" is said to be derived from this red, and this red has not faded because of history, this red is still so dazzling and bright. Opening hours: Friday: 9:00-12:15, 14:45-18:00; other times: 9:00-18:00
Came here on May 2, 2013. The Red House is a historical relic of the Dutch colonization in Malacca. It was built between 1640 and 1660 and is the oldest Dutch building in the Eastern world. The entire complex, including the Governor's Residence, the clock tower and the Christian Church, all have an ochre-red exterior, which is particularly eye-catching under the bright sun in Malacca. Therefore, the Red House is also an important attraction in Malacca and should not be missed. The whole place is not big, and it is not open to the public when you go there. It only takes about an hour to take pictures at the door and look at the buildings.
When visiting Malacca, you must visit the Dutch Red House, which is located on St. Paul's Hill on the banks of the Malacca River and covers an area of 49,200 square meters. It was built between 1641 and 1660 and is the oldest Dutch building in Southeast Asia. It was originally a church, and later served as a city government for more than 300 years. In 1980, it was changed to the Malacca Museum, which houses historical relics from Malay, Portuguese, Dutch and British. The Dutch-style Jalan Laksam Red House has thick red brick walls (it is said that these red bricks were specially shipped from the Netherlands at that time, and the famous "Malacca Red" is said to be derived from this red), heavy hardwood doors, wide stone steps in front of the door, a red clock tower and a large fountain built in the Victorian era, full of a heavy sense of history. As the most famous tourist attraction in Malacca (next to it is the most intimate Chicken Factory Street for Chinese people), there are many tourists every day. The small square is full of garlands, Indian-style tuk-tuks and charming policewomen are also a beautiful landscape. Finally, I'll give you a point. The Dutch Red House was originally white before the 18th century. It was not until 1820 that it was changed to red and remains so today. It may surprise you.
