Jonker Street, Melaka

Also known as Jalan Hang Jebat, this used to be the rich man's street during the Dutch colonial period. Today, the street is popular with antique hunters and collectors worldwide. Some of the shops have a collection of antiques which date back as far as 300 years. Strolling along the street, you will notice that the buildings are immaculately constructed with elaborate carvings on the pillars and walls. These intricate adornments reflect the rich heritage of the Peranakan or Straits Chinese community.
