Forbidden Garden of the Malay Sultanate Palace, Malacca

Forbidden Garden of the Palace of the Melaka Sultanate (1 May, 2009)


Forbidden Garden of the Palace of the Malay Sultanate of Melaka (GPS: 2.19273, 102.25051), or Taman Larangan Istana Kesultanan Melayu Melaka, is a garden in front of the Malacca Sultanate Palace. It is an interpretation of the garden where royal princesses at the time of the Malacca sultanate used to enjoy.

According to the interpretive plaque, it has never been clearly recorded that such a garden actually existed at the palace, this garden is nonetheless visualized, that if such a garden existed, it would have taken the appearance as laid out. The interpretive plaque also pointed to the chronicles by a Chinese traveler who have described such a garden having existed and held various trees that were abundantly fruiting.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
