Zheng He made seven voyages to the Western Ocean and five to Malacca, where he built an ancient city wall.

Malacca, a famous Malaysian historical city, is a household name in China. On the one hand, the Straits of Malacca, as the throat connecting the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, is a geographical term that China people have been in contact with since primary school; On the other hand, because this ancient city has a very deep relationship with China, when you walk on the streets of Malacca, there will always be a figure in front of you.

More than 600 years ago, Zheng He, a navigator of the Ming Dynasty in China, made seven voyages to the Western Ocean and made five stops in Malacca. His arrival has deeply influenced the history of this city. The city of Malacca was once the capital of the ancient kingdom of Malacca and an important transit point for maritime trade. When Zheng He was ordered to go abroad, he stopped here many times and established a base camp here.

Up to now, there are still many relics of Zheng He in Malacca, such as Bukit China, where his officers and men are stationed every time they come to Malacca. There is a Sanbao Temple at the foot of the mountain, and the broken mirror of Li Hang, which Zheng He ordered to excavate. Unlike later western colonists, Zheng He came to Malacca as an envoy of the Ming Dynasty. Not only did he not occupy an inch of land here, but he also pacified the invasion of neighboring countries' troops and escorted the three generations of Sultans of Malacca to pay tribute, which laid a solid foundation for the establishment and consolidation of the Malacca dynasty.

Zheng He organized local soldiers and civilians to build the ancient city wall, with four gates in the southeast and northwest, and sent people to patrol day and night at night, and formulated a whole set of public security system, which not only eliminated the unstable factors in the city, but also helped to defend the capital and make Malacca people live and work in peace and contentment for more than a hundred years. He also set up an official factory at the foot of Mount China in Bukit, Malacca, to store food and goods, eliminate the intrusion of pirates, and help Malacca become the main commercial port of East-West trade activities at that time. Local people in Malacca are very appreciative of Zheng He's achievements. The Malay Chronicle published here records Zheng He's achievements and remains in Malacca.

To commemorate the 600th anniversary of Zheng He's voyage to the West, overseas Chinese from Singapore and Malaysia invested in the construction of Zheng He Cultural Center in Malacca to display porcelain, seafood and treasure ship models. It shows the things brought by Zheng He's seven voyages to the West, and also shows the life scenes of the crew.

In addition, the unique Minamata culture in Malacca is also related to Zheng He. From the Ming Dynasty, China immigrated to Malacca and married the local Malaysians. Both boys and girls are called Tan Tan, and Tan Niang is also called a native of China. Some of these immigrants were sailors sailing with Zheng He. In Chinatown in Malacca, there are aging museums and restaurants. Niangshen is also a mixture of local cooking styles in China, Guangdong, Fujian and Malaysia. It is sweet and sour, but bitter and spicy.

Malacca was officially listed on the World Heritage List in 2008, and its history and culture are recognized by the world. At the same time, it also gives more people the opportunity to learn more about this ancient city on the sea route. Come to the Malacca River and take a boat down the river.
