Taman Mini Malaysia











This area we visited encompassed 13 kampong houses of traditional architecture. Each of the homes represent the architectural style of the 13 states in Malaysia and each house is filled with many different kinds of arts and crafts which depict the culture of each state. The area is rather spacious and has a sense of cultural and heritage richness.
The people in the area are middle-aged and older. Most of them are dark-skinned and wear tudongs. They are very traditional and approachable.
The objects around and inside each house, are genuine handicrafts originating from each state or county.
The area also has a park which has weekly cultural shows and traditional games. This therefore, acts as an opportunity to see all Malaysian architecture and heritage. It helps us to break away from the hustle  and bustle of urban Melaka.
