EXPLORAQUEST MELAKA - NIGHT VIEWS FROM MEDAN HANG TUAH - 11.2.2009

Here's another set of views from a different angle and at river level. These palms adorn the sidewalks at the Hang Tuah plaque and fountain display. This is also where one of the new public toilets is located.

Across the river, is the iconic Clock Tower at Dewan Hang Tuah and looking pretty in deep pink. Unlike Big Ben, Dewan Hang Tuah Clock chimes at every hour to a popular Malay tune ending with a gong strike

The new eatery across the river connects to old shop houses. You can choose to sit in or outside alfresco style from where you can get to wave at the people on the river boats

The Eye of Melaka is located after the Cathay Bridge and is the brightest-lit because of the blue neons

There are two ways to go across the river - you can use the Hang Tuah Bridge (which is nearer, if you are at Medan Hang Tuah) or the Cathay Bridge

What's there to do>
1. Check out the clock chime, identify the tune and hear the sound of the gong
2. Check out the Hang Tuah plaque
3. Walk the bridges and see the sights

Now who says there's nothing to see and nothing to do in Melaka?
