Cheng Ho's Cultural Museum
Cheng Ho or Zheng He. This famed explorer
made seven voyages of exploration, leaving
his mark in the Middle East, Africa and South
East Asia between 1405 and 1433. Five of
these voyages brought him through Melaka,
a port he is said to have founded.
These voyages made a significant impact
on Melaka's regionally important role in
history. As a confidante to the third Emperor
of the Ming Dynasty, Cheng Ho had a
weighty influence on Chinese International
Relations of the day.
In the mid-15th Century, he was entrusted to
bring the Emperor's daughter, Princess
Hang Li Po to marry the Sultan of Melaka.
The Princess' entourage consisted of
several hundred sons of ministers and
handmaidens, a group of people who
eventually intermarried with locals in Melaka,
creating the Baba Nyonya culture.
Lately, some interest has been generated
about a belief that Cheng Ho kept a
warehouse in Melaka. One of the dilapidated
buildings in the old part of Melaka town,
showing remnants of Ming style architecture,
is thought to be the old warehouse in
question and is now the site of the Cheng
Ho Museum.
The exhibition space displays the life and
times of the historic Admiral. Rooms like
Tea House and Treasure Ship Living Cabin
will take you back in time, and offer you a
glimpse of Cheng Ho's lifestyle.
Studies of the adventures of this Muslim
eunuch are fascinating and the social
impact of his voyages can still be felt to this
day.
How to get there By Foot or Taxi
Cheng Ho Museum is on Jalan Hang Jebat,
close to the Tan Kim Seng Bridge. Because
of Cheng Ho's Museum's very central
location, it is very easy to get to and from
wherever you might be staying.
