6. Will it be too hot if I climb during the afternoon?

No. The rainforest shades you from the sun most of the way and hence it doesn’t feel hot.

There are shelters at mid-way and at the summit (it takes about less than an hour to reach the shelter at mid-way point)

There is no such need as there are rarely any cases of insect bites. If you want, you can always wear a long sleeve top with long trek pants.

The only animal I would be wary about is the cheeky little monkeys that might take their chances to grab your food.

11. The Stadthuys

Being the oldest-surviving building built by Dutch, The Stadthyus was once the residence of the Dutch officers and governors. It was built as the focus point of Dutch government after the Portuguese fort was ruined.

In 1982, the building was converted to museum. It displays the unique architecture of Dutch but due to the long time, it only left with louvred windows, massive walls, chunky doors and wrought-iron hinges.

The Stadthuys Melaka

Besides, the museum also exhibits the history of Malacca from the Sultan of Malacca, Portuguese, British and Dutch colonization until today.

Since it has a distinguishable brick-red exterior, it is impossible to miss out the building.

The museum has a free guide tour on Saturday and Sunday. Join the tour to know more about the history of Malacca.
