Nothing much to see or to buy. It is very crowded and humid. The only thing we enjoy its the river view and perhaps the San Shu Gong specialty shop.

Good choice of street food in the evening, but during the day there is far less to see. It's an interesting enough street to look at with plenty surrounding it, but not sure it's worth heading the Melaka just to go to Jonker Walk

A bustling and very vibrant place, with pedestrian traffic only. It was crowded with many holiday makers, due school holidays, but still interesting and fun.

Went on Friday night, energetic, lots of food offering, crowded, interesting, feel free as vehicles are blocked from walking streets. No worries of being knock over. June is a hot weather, drink more water before going there.

So hot, dangerous sidewalk (cars / heavy vehicles brushing past you every other minute). No entry to vehicles when nightmarket is in operation. Went on a Sunday evening, not much to see / buy.

good place to visit on weekend. Try their local foods. You can shop in the stores also street vendors. The street busy on weekend only. If you come on weekdays, will see only the stores without street vendors.

A fun street and a couple of nice clothes stores - but on the whole very tacky! The night market was on which was fun to look around. A few decent bars for a drink and some snacks.
