KUALA LUMPUR — Wang Lin, a tourist from Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, marveled at the artifacts in the Cheng Ho Cultural Museum in Malacca, Malaysia, where the stories of China's legendary navigator and diplomat Zheng He were vividly brought to life.

"The history of Zheng's voyages that I learned in school has come alive before my eyes," Wang says.

Zheng He, known as Cheng Ho in Malay, was a celebrated envoy of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), who visited Malacca at least five times during his seven maritime expeditions.

His voyages have not only strengthened ties between China and Malaysia but also laid the foundation for centuries of cultural and economic exchanges.

Today, Malacca's rich historical legacy and vibrant cultural landscapes continue to attract Chinese tourists, as the 50th anniversary of China-Malaysia diplomatic relations in 2024 has bolstered tourism and strengthened people-to-people ties.

Since the implementation of the China-Malaysia mutual visa exemption in December 2023, travel between the two nations has become more convenient.

Roslan Abdul Rahman, secretary-general of Malaysia's Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture, says the country has welcomed 2.69 million Chinese tourists in the first nine months of this year, marking a 144 percent year-on-year increase.

Malacca stands out as a favorite destination for Chinese tourists due to its historical ties with China.

Among its attractions, Jonker Street, also known as Jonker Walk, nestled in the heart of Malacca, holds particular significance. Once the site of Zheng's storehouses and early Chinese settlements, the area now is a bustling UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Its well-preserved architecture, traditional Peranakan shop houses, antique shops, art galleries and lively street food stalls offer visitors a window into its unique history.

"The surge in Chinese visitors over the past year has greatly boosted the local economy, created new business opportunities and spurred growth in Malacca's tourism and hospitality sectors," says Gan Tian Loo, chairman of the Jonker Walk Working Committee.

Gan emphasizes Jonker Street's cultural importance, describing it not only as a pivotal hub during Zheng's voyages but also as a living testament to Baba-Nyonya culture.

"Jonker Street provides a rare opportunity to explore the harmonious fusion of Malaysian and Chinese traditions while celebrating a friendship that has thrived across generations," he adds.

The Baba-Nyonya, or Peranakans, are descendants of Chinese immigrants who intermarried with local Malays, creating a distinct cultural identity. Male descendants are called Baba, while female descendants are called Nyonya.
