Photos from my recent trip to Malacca
Tan Kim Seng Bridge is the most important bridge across the Malacca River. It joins Jonker Street to the Dutch Square. It was named after the early 19th century Malaccan born Hokkien philantropist, who donated it to the town.

Today, the Malacca River has been cleaned up and rehabilitated. Smart looking (and underused) cafes line its banks. There is also a Malacca River boat ride. The ride takes 45 minutes. The fare, at time of writing, is RM7 for adults and RM3 for children. The tour starts at the Malacca River Boat Jetty near the Dutch Square (Town Square). This boat ride is now quite famous, having even appeared in the American movie "Entrapment" in 1998.
