The Kampung Hulu Mosque is probably the oldest functioning mosque in Malaysia which is still located in its original site at the junction of Jalan Kampung Hulu and Jalan Masjid
At the front lies this faded sign board that originally displayed a traditional Malay pantun or "poetry" -Cantik Sungguh Puteri Tun Teja
Dibawa Ke Melaka Si Tuah Bistari
Indah Sungguh Kota Melaka
Jika Sudi Datanglah Lagi
This is the inner view of the main hall of the mosque. The Kampung Hulu Mosque is built in the style of a Javanese mosque.
On steps lie a pair of mini cannons
And above the main entrance gate is a wooden hut with a traditional gong called a bedok.What's there to do?
1. Check out the Chinese ornaments from the Qing Dynasty found in the roof and floor tiles
2. Learn more. Log on to - http://melayuonline.com/history/?a=UHNWL29QTS9VenVwRnRCb20%3D%3D&lang=English
Now who says there's nothing to see and nothing to do in Melaka?
