Introduction

The Mosque by the Straits is a mosque located in Malacca, Malaysia, built on the artificially constructed Malacca Island. This mosque is notable for its unique appearance, which gives the impression of a floating structure when the water level rises. Every evening, as the sun sets, the Mosque by the Straits becomes incredibly captivating in the glow of the setting sun. From the sound of the prayer chants echoing from the speakers to the soothing sound of the waves, the picturesque scenery is both relaxing and delightful. After dusk, the entire mosque is illuminated by remotely controlled lights, showcasing a different color and creating a magnificent spectacle under the moonlit sky. It is truly a sight worth seeing.
