GUI & Flowchart

Decription of the GUI:
I'm try to make the individual site look more simple and historical. I'm in charge of Transportation. For the background,I had combined the transports that it's related to my tasks and changing the color into darker and looks 'older' by using photoshop to bring out the feel of historic. To avoid too complicated and lose focus,i just change the font color-purple and red and just left blank for the layout. I had make some individual links for all of the transport, 'back to main page' and 'back to home'. For the 'back to home',visitors can go bac to the home page of transportation and for the link of 'back to main page', visitors can go bac to the page that stated 'history', 'location and direction', 'attractions', 'accommodations' and 'transportation'.



Flowchart of individual site:

There's alot of places,u can take the most famous and suggested 5 places. Besides,what you had post up is correct and related to the attraction,but still maybe have to do a little changes on the words.

Attraction

What’s interesting in visit Hang Li Po Well?? Food? Shopping?

No.... This well is well known due to its mythical origins and a history relating China and Malacca. You can also take this chance visit to Bukit Cina and Sam Po Kong Temple which located near to this well.

Hang Li Po's Well also know as King's Well, located at the foot of Bukit Cina. Bukit China, a gift from the sultan, was established as their residence. It was built in 1459 by the followers of Princess Hang Li Po for her personal use and was also the main source of water for much of the town. It was a prime target for opposition forces which either poisoned it or tried to hold it for their use. It was reputed never to have dried up even during droughts.

Bukit China is a small hill in the eastern side of Malacca city, along Jalan Puteri Hang Li Po, and is one of the tourist spots in Malacca. History records show that during the Ming Dynasty in China, in order to seal diplomatic ties between Malacca and China, a Chinese princess is wedded to the Sultan of Malacca. The Sultan housed the princess and her 500 handmaidens at this hill and name the place Bukit China (Bukit means hill in Malay).Later on in history, the hill becomes a cemetery for the Chinese settlers that came to Malacca.

Bukit China has two adjoining hills which form a Chinese graveyard covering over 25 hectares. With over 12,000 graves and some dating back to the Ming dynasty, it is said to be the largest one outside China. The oldest grave found here dates back to 1622.

Hang Li Po Well is located next to Poh San Teng Temple, was founded in 1795 by Kapitan China Chua Su Cheong as a graveyard temple. The main deity is Fu-te Zhen Shen. the temple was built to allow the descendants of those buried on Bukit China to conduct prayers to their ancestors away from the heavy rain and strong winds.

There’s step to Bukit Cina hill from Poh San Temple. Visitors love to walk along the steps and enjoy the historical environment.

From the view of the top of hill, you can see Munshi Abdullah Street.

Today, the well has acquired the reputation of a wishing well and it is believed that anyone who throws a coin into the well will return to Melaka. There’s also has a Hang Li Po Temple for tourist to pray.

Tourist came for wishing.

LOCATION OF HANG LI PO WELL

Figure 1.1 Hang Li Po Well

HANG LI PO WELL was located adjacent to the Sam Po Kong Temple. When Hang Li Po arrived with more than 500 ladies-in-waiting, the Sultan Mansur Shah gave them ‘the hill without a town’ in perpetuity, subsequently called ‘Bukit Cina’. Bukit Cina (Chinese Hill) is the largest Chinese burial ground outside China. The cemetery stretches over 3 hills covering an area of 26ha and holds more than 12,000 graves with tombs dating back to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).

Hang Li Po’s followers built a well at the foot of the Bukit Cina hill for their own used. Also known as Rajah’s well, it can be said as the main source of water for much of the town. It is said that the well never dried up, not even during times of extreme drought. The Dutch enclosed the well in stout walls in 1677 to prevent it from falling into the hands of foes.

Today it has long since been crowded by tourists looking into the well which is nothing to see but children here are trying to throw a coin in!!! - making it like a wishing well!

The History

Hi there!
Here are some updates about our findings about Hang Li Po Well.

Hang Li Po's Well also know as King's Well , located at the foot of Bukit Cina, next to Sam Po Kong Temple, was built in 1459 by the followers of Princess Hang Li Po as the main source of water supply in the town.

Princess Hang Li Poh was married to the reigning Sultan Mansor Shah in mid-15th century for the diplomatic ties between China and Malacca. The well was then built under the royal command of Sultan Mansur Shah for Princess Hang Li Poh at the foot of Bukit Cina - a Chinese settlement given by the Sultan to the Princess as a gift.

It was said that after Melaka was conquered by the Portuguese, the Javanese poisoned the water in the well and many Portuguese soldiers died after drinking water out of the well. In 1677, during the Dutch rule, the Dutch enclosed the well within stout walls to maintain their rights to the well.

Today it is turned into a wishing well. It is believed that whoever throws coins into the well or drink its water will return to Melaka time and again.
