LEJU 79 樂居 |Heritage House Great For Quiet Getaway

 

 

 

 

LEJu 79 was formerly a residential house by several group of local residents. It has a special charm that you cant find anywhere else. It is located at a quiet neighbourhood within the world heritage side. When we took over, it was still in a good condition despite it had more than a century history. We tried to preserve it, and maintain the original structure of it as much as we can. The major renovation is at the rear end of the house ( air well area ), we rebuilt the bathroom to make it more spacious with brand new bathrooms appliances.
All the structures in the house are still remained unchanged ,further completed with the vintage/ furnitures. This space is best suited for those travellers who appreciate its quirk and looking for some unique travel experiences in Malacca.
Neighbourhood Story ：
If you are looking for an ancient street with fascinating sights, sounds and smells, this is it.
Jalan Hang Kasturi, or Second Cross Street as the older locals in Malacca know it, begins from Jalan Kampung Pantai, intersects with Jalan Tukang Emas (Goldsmith Street) and cuts across Malacca’s two main tourist draws — Jonker Street (Jalan Hang Jebat) and Heeren Street (Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock).
With the ever-rising value of properties in the old city under the Unesco- designated World Heritage status, many traditional family businesses have been forced to move elsewhere or close down.
In spite of this, Second Cross Street has managed to retain its allure.
In between the shops of old are guest houses and budget hotels catering to backpackers, cafes, hawker stalls, restaurants and an array of gift shops selling items ranging from painted clogs to priceless antiques.
The first thing that grabs the attention as one enters Jalan Hang Kasturi from the Jalan Kampung Pantai junction, is a mural of eight running horses painted on a wall of a building.
That stretch of Jalan Hang Kasturi is also known to locals as “Tofu Street” because of the stalls selling tofu-based snacks and other delicious hawker fare in the area at night during weekends.
During the 18th century, tinsmiths dominated this end of Second Cross Street. Most were Hakkas who arrived from villages near Canton (Guangdong).
It was a thriving trade in the days when almost everything was made by artisans using bare hands and simple tools.
In addition to a wide variety of kitchen utensils, they also made galvanised iron rain gutters for roofs of houses. There are now only a handful of them left on the street.

LEJU 79 之前是幾户當地居民的住宅。它有一種在其他地方找不到的特殊魅力。它位於世界遺產区一条安靜的街區。儘管它已有超过一百多年的歷史，但仍保存完好。对我们来说，每间老房子都是独一无二的，所以我们盡所能保持它的原有結構。最主要的翻修是在房子的後端（天井區域），我們重建了浴室，使其更加寬敞。
房子裡的所有結構仍然保持不變，並配有本地的旧复古家具。這空間尤其適合那些欣賞其特色並想在馬六甲尋找一些獨特旅行體驗的旅行者。
邻里街区的故事 ：
如果您正在寻找一条拥有迷人景色、声音和气味的古老街道，那么这里就是您的最佳选择。
Jalan Hang Kasturi，或马六甲当地人所知的豆腐街，始于 Jalan Kampung Pantai （板底街），与 Jalan Tukang Emas（打金街）相交，横穿马六甲的两个主要旅游景点 — 鸡场街（Jalan Hang Jebat）和 荷兰街（Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock）。
随着联合国教科文组织指定的世界遗产老城区的房产价值不断上涨，许多传统家族企业被迫搬迁到其他地方或关闭。
尽管如此，豆腐街仍设法保持其吸引力。
在这条老街的商店有背包客式的宾馆和经济型住宿、咖啡馆、小贩摊位、餐馆和礼品店，出售各种商品如从彩绘木鞋到古董等等。
从 Jalan Kampung Pantai 路口进入 Jalan Hang Kasturi 时，首先映入眼帘的是建筑物墙壁上绘制的八匹奔马的壁画。
Jalan Hang Kasturi 的那段路段被当地人称为“豆腐街”，因为以前周末晚上该地区有出售豆腐小吃和其他小贩食品的摊位。
18 世纪，在几乎所有东西都是由工匠用徒手和简单工具制作的时代，这贸易就成为了一项蓬勃发展的贸易。锡匠主宰了豆腐街的这一端。大多数住户是来自广州（广东）附近村庄的客家人。
除了各种各样的厨房用具外，工匠们还为房屋屋顶制作镀锌铁雨水槽。现在街上只剩下少数人了。
