The Maziah Palace is said to have been built on the year 1897 during the ruling of Sultan Zainal Aiden III. The architecture, the design and the decoration of the Maziah Palace clearly reflects the artistic skills of the local people as it is the blend of modern and traditional form of architectural designs. Nowadays, the Maziah Palace is mainly used only as a venue for the royalty’s birthdays and weddings.

China Town
China Town is located just 10 minutes walk away from the Maziah Palace. It is hard to miss the China Town as there is a huge gate standing tall at one end of the street. Upon the first glance of the street, one can feel that the street hasn’t change much since the early days as most of the shop house at both side of the streets still remains as wooden shop houses. In addition to that, the architectural build of these shop houses are slightly identical to the chinese shop houses in Malacca. For the visitors who admires these historical architectures, the China Town is a place worth going to as walking pass through the streets will surely provide the visitors the same kind of atmosphere where the local chinese there once experienced. In addition to that, there is a chinese temple located at the China Town where this chinese temple was built roughly 200 years ago. One thing that is magnificent about this chinese temple is that, the temple was built using only joints and not one single nail is used during the building of this chinese temple.
