Melaka’s Menara Taming Sari
May 5th, 2009 by Steven
It’s been more than 365 days since I last visited The historic city of Melaka. Surely got new developments. More tourist attractions have been added … a strategic move by the state government to attract visitors. One of the new attractions is the Menara Taming Sari. The design is based on the keris used by the legendary Hang Tuah.
This revolving ‘gyro tower’ is the first of its kind in Malaysia. Has a 66-pax capacity. A 7-minute ride costs RM20 … with discounts for senior citizens and those who present their MyKad. <Canon EOS: ISO 100; f/10; 1/250 sec>
The tip of the tower is 110 metres from the ground <Canon EOS: ISO 100; f/11; 1/250 sec>
