A hidden gem in Malacca, this ancient Chinese cemetery occupies a gentle hill downtown Malacca. The walk to the hilltop is even more impressive during March and April when the red flame of the forest and the frangipani trees cover the slopes with their spectacular red and rose flowers. A good starting point is St Peter's Church next to the river (you can even start downstream from Chinatown and enjoy the walk along the river). Take the lane along the fence of St Peter's Church (Lorong Haji Bachee) and you will bump on the cemetery hill. Continue straight on the little path going up the hill among the trees and old graves. You can go down on your right by the staircase with red handrail or continue the walk until the beautiful viewpoint. After the hilltop, the path snakes Southwards among the nice flowering trees above mentioned. You can exit at the hill foot or circle around the mount by keeping to your left on the track.

The Christ Church is one of center of attractions of Melaka situated at the Dutch Square and part of the cluster of bright terracota-red colonial Dutch buildings of historical Melaka. Started in 1741 construction of the Church completed in 1753 by the Dutch Colonial authority. This Church is the oldest functioning Protestant Church in Malaysia. The 8 foot long ceiling beams were cut in one piece and constructed without joints. The handmade pews are original and dates back 200 years. Once you are inside you’ll have a different filling to see few centuries old set up with 200 years old pews and other furniture. There are several stones inscribed with history of few individuals at floor towards the back of the room. The Christ Church is certainly a place to see and read the history.

Mosque is open to non Muslims but you must be dressed appropriately.Also you are not permitted to enter the prayer area.Signs are there to guide you.Construction of the mosque was completed in mid 1700s.It is unique in that though it was mainly Sumatran, it had strong Hindu influence.Also you will note that some carvings are Chinese.Some steel posts are Moorish.Glazed tiles appear to be English and Portugese.Columns and arches are also western. Mosque in a street where next to it is a Hindu temple and further up a Chinese temple, an ideal symbolism of harmony of faiths!

Be Sunday, my teenagers and I planned to go to mass. It is always delightful to experience mass in a new location. St Francis Xavier church is a lovely building from the late 1800s built in honour of the patron saint, St Francis Xavier from Portugal. The high vaulted ceiling with the blue featuring is stunning. The featured stain glass windows and the images of the stations of the cross are definitely worth a look. Interestingly the entire building is on a lean! Not sure why bud guessing some subsidence!
