A river which flows through the middle of Malacca City. Did you know it used to be a vital trade route during the heyday of Malacca Sultanate in the 15th century?

#lifeatexpedia #my2016
The river was the main artery of trade for Melaka in its heyday when it was bustling with traders from all around the world. 

Some buildings from that era still stand majestically by the river, which is also lined by old villages, or kampungs, and modern day buildings.
