Jonker walk is a tourist attraction packed with vendors selling souvenirs, snacks and accessories at considerably steep prices, as compared to elsewhere in Malacca. You can see lots of trishaws blaring loud music and decorated with soft toys and neon lights. There would also be Chinese opera performances on certain nights.
From Prima Hotel Melaka, cross Jalan Kee Ann, pass Kampung Jawa, turn over a small bridge called "Ghost Gate Guan", cross the Malacca River, walk 100 meters south along Lorong Hang Jebat and come to Malacca Chinatown, that is, Malacca Jichang Street Culture Square Jonker Walk Melaka, taken from the Weinan language "Street Market Street". Jiechang Street is an ancient street integrating cultural monuments, food and leisure, and is a world cultural heritage and famous tourist attraction in Malacca. Zheng He, a famous diplomatic envoy in the Ming Dynasty, sailed seven times and stationed in Malacca six times. He set up a "official factory" in the local area, which also made more than 20 surrounding streets and lanes mainly in Jichang Street the earliest concentrated place for Chinese people to move to Nanyang. The streets are full of ancient buildings combining Chinese Nanyang architectural style, including the 100-year-old Fujian Assembly Hall and temples, and the small shops on weekdays are daily operating stalls and selling various Malaya cuisine, exquisite crafts, famous local products and so on. Whether it is sunny or rainy, tourists from all over the world are endless and lively.
The vibrant Weekend night market at Jonker St used to be one of the sleepiest streets in Malacca before Malacca was declared as UNESCO heritage site in 2008.Not forgeting the street beside Jonker with unique Dutch residential houses from 17th Century
In addition to buying hand letters in Chinatown, Malacca has a mommy noodle restaurant and many specialty coffee shops. I went to the most popular restaurant last time. The decoration is nostalgic enough to buy good food.
One of the must visit place. Nice walking food shopping street. Lots of food to eat and shopping to do. There is a stage in the middle where people will sing songs as entertainment.
