Hang Tuah Mausoleum — Attraction in Malacca

During our visit to Melaka, my wife and I had the opportunity to visit the Hang Tuah Mausoleum, also known as Makam Hang Tuah, located in Tanjung Kling. As someone who has always wanted to visit this historic site, I was excited to finally do so.

Hang Tuah, born between 1431 and 1444, was a renowned warrior in Malacca, and his mausoleum holds significant historical value. The location was relatively easy to find. However, a notable drawback was the lack of designated parking spaces in the area. We ended up parking in front of a local resident's house, which was not ideal.

The mausoleum is situated within a Muslim graveyard and appears to be somewhat semi-maintained. Despite this, we found the information panels surrounding the mausoleum to be very informative. They provided a comprehensive overview of Hang Tuah's life, from his early years to his final days, which greatly enhanced our understanding and appreciation of his historical significance.

While the visit was enlightening, I believe that the state government or the tourism body could do more to maintain the area in a manner that is respectful to Muslim customs. Improving the upkeep of the mausoleum and adding more tourist facilities would greatly enhance the experience for visitors.

In summary, visiting the Hang Tuah Mausoleum was a worthwhile experience, offering valuable insights into the life of a legendary warrior. However, better maintenance and improved facilities would make this historical site even more respectful and accessible for...

The Hang Tuah tomb located in Tanjung Kling, Melaka, Malaysia is the tomb of a Malacca warrior whose story of courage began when during adolescence with no help, he had captured a raging man in Kampung Duyong. This greatness came to the ears of the Sultan and Hang Tuah to be called to the palace to be the youngest hero to serve Melaka. His excellent abilities made him with four of his best friends in Malacca's history. Although there are some hikayat like Hikayat Hang Tuah stated that Hang Tuah disappeared and some say Hang Tuah died in Perak. The Malay history of Tun Sri Lanang's writings, in the narrative of Malay History, said Hang Tuah died and was buried in Tanjung Kling with full custom. In the Sulalatus Salatin the Malay History was recorded: "Even then Admiral Hang Tuah returned to the grace of Allah Taala, then by Sultan Mahmud instilled in Tanjung Keling, with full custom granted; three days he was not crowned. So then Khoja Hassan became Admiral, replacing His father-in-law, Admiral Khoja Hassan, was born with the son of Admiral Hang Tuah, a man, named Tun Abdul. Wallahu a'lamu bi'l sawab, wa ilaihi'l...

Makam Hang Tuah is a known to be the final resting place of the legendary hero, Hang Tuah. This location is also quite hidden and not a grandoise place as many would expect.

The truth about his place is that there are many different sides to this story. His exact resting place varies from one to another. Some did say he rests in Batam, some in some part of Gunung Ledang, even some say in Melaka actually, jz a different part of Melaka.

I am not one to know but maybe he is still living with the magical princess.. who knows, nonetheless, his legacy and legend lives on to this date and time. Many countries still carry his name; in Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and more. Will not argue or try to find it since there are various sources leading to different locations.

Nway, we did reach here and will share more on our travels,...
