MALACCA, the third smallest state in Malaysia, as known as the Historical state of Malaysia. Since 600 years ago until today, Malacca has gone through its prosperity & downfall. We are able to find all these antiquities from buildings, peoples, souvenirs as well as the foods especially in the Central Malacca – Malacca Town. Apart from as a tourism spot, Malacca acts as an important place where peoples exchange their culture, value and lifestyle. We can see this in the Nyonya-Baba which is a mixture of Chinese and Malay’s life style. Although Malacca is a historical town which full of old stories. But the people are enjoying their life, not only old people, even the youngsters in Malacca. We can see this in those shop lots which renovated from old style building. They are appreciating the antiquities of Malacca in creative ways. These are all the art of living for the people in Malacca. It is grateful that people in Malacca are still practicing it in their living no matter how the world has changed.

Young and old pray before the ancestors, sweep the tombs and offer food, tea, wine, chopsticks, paper accessories, and libation to the ancestors. The rites are very important to most Chinese and they believe that their ancestors will bless the whole family in wealth and health too. Besides that, they will also burn paper, incense or firecrackers in common during this festival. Nowadays, QingMing is not only a festival to pray and sweep the tombs.

Malacca is a historical place with old buildings and old people who carrying lots of stories. Nowadays, it is a one of the famous place which the tourists like to go. So, what makes Malacca so special and famous? One of the reason could be the place, the wheather, the building or the people who live there. Out of these three factors, the people could be selected as the reason.

Some of them are selling the porceclains and antiques, some of them are selling their artworks and some of them are running a restaurants.
