Melaka has been touted as the tourist state of the country of Malaysia. It is because history of Malaysia started here in 1511 when Parameswara sat under the Melaka tree while seeking refuge.
The A'Famosa Gateway and the Victorian Clock Tower are both icons of the Melaka tourism. Some millions of ringgit have been spent to clean up the Melaka river and tourist boats can ply it for a river tour of the city.
As for Melaka food, one of its famed dishes is Sate' Chelup, which is a specialty of the town. It has become well-known, and just as famous as the Nonya dishes.
The Jonker Street has become Jonker Walk, a tourist destination next geographically and parallel to the "antique ware" street, Heeren Street.
Within walking distance of 10 minutes from the Clock-Tower is the shopping malls of Mahkota Parade and Dataran Pahlawan.
