Jonker Street Melaka

At the moment I am in the historic town of Melaka in Malaysia. Developers are the scourge of this old town with shopping malls and hotels erasing the history and culture of the place. Nevertheless Jonker street retains many of its original features. The road is filled with historical houses along its left and right sides dating back to the 17th century. A focal point for the Chinese community the road hosts a night market every Friday to Sunday evening. Here are some photographs of the market I’ve taken over a couple of recent nights.
