Visit Melaka Historic City
When Kuala Lumpur was a malaria-infested jungle many years ago, Melaka was one of the most sought after tourist destinations of Malaysia. However, after Kuala Lumpur transformed into a polished high-rise capital, Melaka was one of the busiest trading ports in the country. Over time, it changed from a striving port into a sleepy backwater city and lost its charm as a quite city. However, over the years, this city has come up as one of the most picked holiday destinations and historic attractions. You have the Baba Nyonya Heritage Museum, Cheng HoonTeng Temple, Christ Church, Jonker Street and a few museums where you can spend some enlightening time with your family and loved ones.

The aim of the centre is to rescue orphaned orangutans who have been left to fend for themselves due to illegal poaching and logging, or who have been found being kept as pets (which is illegal in Malaysia). The center administers healthcare and training to the mammals so that they are able to reintegrate and survive in the wild. Once they are able to do so they are released. Visitors can observe the orangutans in the centre and tours are aimed to coincide with feeding times when the animals are usually present on the feeding platforms.
