Jonker Walk, Melaka.
►If you’re asking a local resident or tour guide to suggest a must-visit destination in Melaka, except the historical places of warship, chances are extremel
y high that he/she will definitely answer with firmed tone, speaking out one of these names Jonker Street, Jonker Walk or Jalan Hang Jebat. While having variation, these names are actu
ally referring to the same narrow street located in Melaka Chinatown.
►Jonker Street, houses some of the Melaka’s oldest dwellings or houses dating back to the 17th century, is also informally known as the antique street. The antique shops here are featuring artifacts from different periods of colonial rule Portuguese,
Dutch, and British. If you have sufficient time to stroll through the street with eagle eyes, you can easily hunt and bargain for the unique and valuable antique furniture, Chinese porcelain, brassware, cast iron beds, lamps, coins and money notes, as well as the priceless Buddha statues.
►
If you are looking for antiques from a trusted distributor in Jonker Street, you may feel free to visit Beyond Treasures. Beyond Treasures is armed with huge range of antiques originated from various Asia countries, and has received plenty of testimonials from foreign customers.

►Jonker Walk - The Live Cultural Museum
►On 19 June 2000, the Melaka State Government had launched the concept of Jonker Walk, utilizing the richness of heritage values in this narrow antique street to realize a live touristy culture street.
►Through this plan, the Jonker Street is changing its cloth to play the role of Jonker Walk, on every Friday evenings, Saturday evenings and Sunday evenings from 6.00pm to 12.00 midnight. During these specially located hours, traders are linin
g along the pedestrian street and setting up stalls to sell and d
isplay products associated
with or reflect the cultural colours, such as antique copper coins, local and ethnic traditional food, unique arts and crafts, souvenirs, ornamental jewelry, and wooden clogs. For your information, Purple Flowers Handicrafts is one the pioneers of wooden clogs crafting in Melaka. Some of the local residents who own a house in Jonker Street, are also participating in this activity by converting the house into a premise, such as food s
tall, which allows visitors to enjoy the delicacies while gaining a chance to have a first ha
nd experience on the unique architectural design.
►Besides, some of the Chinese clan and dialect associations are also organizing activities in their respective buildings during weekends for visitors. These activi
ties include dancing classes, Chinese classical instrumental shows, and karaoke se
ssions. In order to encourage touristy activities being held at Jonker Street, a permanent stage is also built at the end of the street for performances.
►Jonker Walk is a good place for street shopping. As opposing to Chinatown in other places or countries, the traders here are generally friendly and communicative; there is hardly a scene of traders forcing visitors to buy their products. As a rule of thumb, bargaining for items which interest you would definitely be a prudent practice.
►If it was approaching or during Chinese New Year celebration, the Jonker Street will also be nicely decorated with cultural colors, and if you’re in the right time, an amazing scene of lion dance performance by tens to hundred of troops might also be caught in sight.
►To date, the Jonker Walk is still very much nominated by Chinese traders. Excluding the foreigners, most of the local visitors are Chinese. The objective of reflecting multi-racial cultural attributes is yet to be significantly actualized.
►Jonker Walk - A Place for Food Lovers
The Jonker Street is not only known for its cultural attractions and unique building architectures, but delicious foods and local delicacies as well. Being day or night, Jonker Street or Jonker Walk, the street is full of a number of shops and cafes selling a wide variety of foods and beverages. The Geographer Cafe located at the middle of the street is especially known among the foreign visitors, for its happening live bands on Friday and weekend nights. Besides, there’s also a shop called Jonker Dessert located diagonally opposite the Geographer Cafe, which is known for its Baba Nyonya delicacies.
