To the local, Melaka is consider the historical state in West Malaysia. As people will tell you that if you never been to Melaka, you do not been to Malaysia!

In today context, you can see many preserved fortress, churches, building structures which was very much Portuguese, Dutch and british style design as Melaka was once controlled by the Portuguese, Dutch and the Great Britain.
During the glory time, Melaka is the busiest harbour port at that time as many traders travelling all the way to South East Asia to do their trader before heading to Singapore.
In the Chinese historical book, Admiral Cheng Ho, the 'three jewelled eunuch prince' from Ming Dynasty came over to Melaka to seal diplomatic relation and trading.
