Kampung Johor Lama, Kota Tinggi, Johor
After Melaka fell in 1511, the sultanate regrouped here on a bend of the Johor River and built Kota Batu, a fortified royal capital that the Portuguese and Acehnese fought over. Today a stilted Malay-house museum sits beside the old earth-and-stone fort site, with displays on Johor's sultans, river forts and archaeological finds. Quiet, breezy and surprisingly moving for history buffs.
