A century-old indigo wall that has stood the test of time

[Attraction] Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion [Address] Armenian Street, George Town, Penang *In Penang, Malaysia, besides the famous Red House, there is also a lesser-known blue gem - the Blue Mansion. This century-old historical site in George Town is the best-preserved residence of the successful businessman Cheong Fatt Tze from the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China in Southeast Asia. The Blue Mansion was built in 1897 and still amazes the world with its unique beauty. *The most distinctive feature of the Blue Mansion is its vibrant indigo walls, which remain rich and noble without any post-coloring. Despite 130 years of erosion, it has not faded and still retains its charming blue color. *In addition to admiring the building itself, you can also join a guided tour of the Blue Mansion to learn more about its history and cultural significance. It showcases the life and achievements of Chinese leader Cheong Fatt Tze and the history and culture of Penang. *As you step into the two-story Blue Mansion, you'll discover many breathtaking details. Exquisite Chinese-style beam and column carvings, Gothic louvered windows, intricate porcelain mosaics, and innovative stained glass are all made from the finest materials and craftsmanship of the time. *The Blue Mansion is full of Chinese feng shui elements, such as 8 Scottish columns, 18 window paintings, 28 steps, 38 rooms, and more. Picture 7 shows an ancient coin-patterned drain, as water means money, and rainwater will flow through this drain to the center of the house. *The Blue Mansion is not only a cultural heritage treasure in Southeast Asia but also a potential candidate for world cultural heritage. Penang even plans to make it the first project to apply for world heritage status, which is enough to prove its historical and cultural value. *If you have the chance to visit Penang, don't miss this century-old Blue Mansion, as it will be one of the most unforgettable memories of your trip. *The Blue Mansion has now been converted into an extraordinary heritage hotel, where visitors can stay or dine to experience the charm of time standing still. The movie "Crazy Rich Asians," starring Michelle Yeoh, was filmed at the Blue Mansion.
