melaka, market, chinatown

Melaka's chinatown is the most impressive we have come across so far.

There are beautifully maintained shopfronts and houses with spotlessly clean streets. There is an amazing collection of antiques, artwork, clothing and shoes. You can still find people weaving bamboo and blacksmiths shaping glowing, red hot metal. There is ample Chinese stores selling an array of fresh and dried foodstuffs, medicines, liquor and specialized goods such as shark fin.
