Melaka Tengah District, Malacca">
Tanjung Kling is a small coastal town in Melaka Tengah District, Malacca. Its name refers to the cape jutting into the Straits of Malacca, and the name "Kling" refers to Indian seafarers who arrived there during the 15th century.

Tanjung Kling is located on the coast between Tanjung Bidara and Klebang. It has a number of beach resort taking advantage of its location, among them Everly Beach Resort, Shah's Beach Resort and Klebang Beach Resort.

Perhaps the most popular tourist sight in Tanjung Kling is the Hang Tuah Mausoleum. It is located along Jalan Pekan Tanjung 2, next to the Malay cemetery. The grave has been restored, painted, and guarded with a gate. Although it is regarded as the grave of the most celebrated warrior of the Sultanate of Malacca, in fact there is no reliable evidence that the grave is that of Hang Tuah.

Visiting Tanjung Kling

Take Federal Route 5 from Malacca Town. To reach the Hang Tuah Mausoleum, turn off Federal Route 5 to Jalan Pekan Tanjung 2 (also called State Route M23). You will see Masjid Tanjung Kling on your right. The site is just a minute or so from the mosque.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
