Cape Rachado (Malacca)

Malaysia / Negeri Sembilan / Port Dickson /
 interesting place, invisible, draw only border
This is Tanjung Tuan, an exclave of Malacca State. It is a small peninsular with a small hill that is a forest reserve. On top of the hill is a light house. It is a 20 mins hike to the top on a shaded paved path. Watch out for the extremely large mosquitos! Bring a lot of mosquito repellents.

The light house of limits to everyone, however you can walk around the perimeter of the light house to see the Melaka Straits. On a clear day, you can see many ships sailing the straits.

Next to the lighthouse is also a small rock with a hole in it. It said that those who lied were forced to put their hand through it to see if they were telling the truth. If the person lied, the hole will close around the person's hand!

If you are more adventurous, you can hike down a small slippery path to the sea from the lighthouse. Here, there are many corals to been. Somewhere near here is also "Tapak Hang Tuah", the "assumed" foot print of Hang Tuah, a famous Malay warrior. It is here that locals believe Hang Tuah has kept all his treasures in a large bolder.
