Hope you have recovered from the jet lag after one night's sleep. After breakfast, the driver guide will escort you to travel around in Malacca. Firstly, we will go to the Cheng Hoon Teng Temple, the oldest Chinese traditional temple in Malaysia. The temple was built in 1673 with precious wood. On the ridges of the roof, you can see awesome colorful statues of mythological figures and animals made of smashed glass and porcelain.

Afterward, we will go to the Dutch Square. At its center stands the Stadthuys (Dutch Red Square), featured by red wall and roof. It used to be the residence of the Dutch governor and his officers.

Then we will head for the Jonker Street, passing by the St. Paul's Church and the Fortress Porta de Santiago. Jonker Street is the Chinatown in Malacca, where you can buy clothes, handicrafts, and local products. There are quite a lot of restaurants and food stalls selling delicious snacks, so we will leave you some time to have lunch on your own here. If needed, the driver guide will be glad to give you some advice on the restaurants and food.

In the afternoon, we will drive to the Taman Rempah Jetty and board a ship to enjoy a Malacca River Cruise, a great way to come across many ancient trees and modern architecture on banks.

Then, we will drive back to the downtown of Kuala Lumpur to visit a few landmarks there. The Independence Square will be our first sightseeing stop. As it was built to commemorate the independence of Malaysia, a series of activities are held here each year on the National Day. Surrounding the square, there are many old buildings with mixed styles, including Sultan Abdul Samad Building and KL City Gallery.

In the afternoon, we will go on to visit the National Mosque, the largest mosque in Southeast Asia. The driver guide will tell you something about it on the way there and leave you enough time to explore around inside. Then drive to visit the King's Palace. As visitors are not allowed inside, the driver guide will pull over and leave you some time for taking photos from outside. The last stop of today will be the Petronas Towers. There, we will ascend the Sky Bridge on its 41st floor and observatory on its 86th floor to have a bird's eye view of Kuala Lumpur. At last, send you back to the hotel for overnight stay.
