Dutch Architecture


You can find Dutch Architecture in Muar. Do you believe it? Well, it is true. There are traces of the Dutch's presence in Malaysia, especially in the state of Malacca. According to history, if I am right, Dutch first landed in Malacca. You can find more of the Dutch Architecture in Malacca which are the favourite tourist spots now. Muar, being the nearest town to Malacca, has some of the traces of the Dutch's presence.

The Dutch culture has somehow influenced the local people's way of life.

The photo was taken in Muar, a coastal town near to Malacca, Malaysia. Muar is a wonderful place for nice food. You will like Muar if you enjoy eating. There are restaurants and hawkers all over the place.
