Christmas Decoration 2007 at Portuguese Settlement

December 23rd, 2007

Christmas celebration at Portuguese Settlement (located in Ujong Pasir) is an annual tourism attraction in Melaka. What makes the Christmas decoration at Portuguese Settlement a worth mentioning event, is that it is a community initiated effort, contributed by every home within the settlement.

This year, Portuguese Settlement is not exempted from this annual tradition as well, as it is the only concentrated area in Melaka with the most Christianity followers.

I’ve visited Portuguese Settlement on last Friday evening, to capture its Christmas atmosphere at dusk.

Though a few houses have added some new ornaments, but most of the decorative items are reused. Well, this is reasonable though, even the renowned KLCC Suria is using the same tall Christmas tree that I’ve seen for the past 2 years.

Feel free to view my last year’s posting about Christmas 2006 at Portuguese Settlement.

On the same day, before night falls, I’ve also got a nice shot at the Straits of Malacca coastline surrounding Portuguese Settlement.
