Finally I managed to get on the Eye on Malaysia! I was put off going to KL when the ferris wheel was at Lake Titiwangsa due to traffic jam and the long queue (and the high fee). At Malacca, the a trip on the wheel for 15 minutes (about 5 rounds) costs RM10 for MyKad holders and RM20 for others. The historical parts of Malacca town is being redeveloped and upgraded. Area around Jonker Street, the Stadhuys, and along Malacca River are different now compared to 5 years ago. More light at night..in fact a lot of lights! By the way, Eye on Malaysia closes at 11pm weekdays and midnight on weekends.
At the entrance to Eye on Malaysia, there were three domes with projected images on its ceilings. We also visited it (free entrance). It was some sort of ceiling projection concept but the garrish color and sound can give you a headache after a while.
There was a paper lantern exhibition near the Big Ship, where many replicas of famous artifacts and animals were crafted in paper. Quite a nice place to hang out a night but I think the exhibition will end soon.
I also had the time to squeeze a trip on the river cruise along Malacca River. You can buy the tickets near the Big Ship area. Ticket costs RM10 per person and its a 45 minute ride along Malacca River. Try to take the trip during sunset or at night to fully appreciate the lights. Last trip is at 9.30pm I think.
Oh ya.. the compulsory cendol and chicken rice ball also on the list.
