The Dutch Red House in Malacca, Malaysia, built in 1650, is one of the oldest Dutch buildings in Southeast Asia. It was once the residence and administrative center of the Dutch governor, then transformed into the administrative center of the British, and now serves as the Malacca Museum, displaying historical artifacts related to the Malacca Dynasty, the Dutch, the British, and the Portuguese. Although the building has Dutch-style brick walls, windows, and doors, the decoration of the bedroom on the top floor is filled with elements of Chinese mythology.
The Dutch Red House Museum actually consists of six museums, known as the "Stadthuys Museums Complex". One ticket allows visitors to visit all the museums. The History and Ethnography Museum (Museum Sejarah dan Etnografi) displays artifacts from the Malacca Dynasty period, including knowledge about royalty, currency, navigation, and marriage customs.

Penang's Clan Jetties are the earliest Chinese settlements in Penang, where the older generation relied on fishing for a living. The houses in the village may be simple, but they are vibrant, adorned with beautiful murals on the exterior. All houses are built on stilts above the sea, supported by rows of wooden pilings. The streets and bridges are similarly supported by pilings, creating a harmonious waterborne community.
Although there were originally eight clan jetties, only six remain today, and their unique heritage has earned them a UNESCO World Heritage status. The largest clan jetty, Chew Jetty, is home to around 60 households. There is only one main road on the jetty, resembling a central artery, while numerous smaller paths lead to picturesque views of the waterborne community. Some people still engage in simple fishing activities and lead simple lives. Stepping into the homes within the clan jetty, one can't help but feel removed from the hustle and bustle of the outside world. It is a peaceful retreat within the bustling city. There are also simple lodgings available in the village, each with its own distinctive character. Additionally, a unique delicacy produced in the area is the jelly cake served in an eggshell. Although the taste may be ordinary, its appearance is certainly unique. There are also many delicious eateries nearby, such as a popular food cart selling Laksa across the street.
