#penangtrip #100waysoftravel #Malaysia #Culturaltrip One of my favorite stops in Penang is definitely the Penang Peranakan Mansion. This beautifully restored heritage building offers a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of the Peranakan, or Straits Chinese, community. The mansion is filled with intricate antique furniture, colorful ceramics, and elaborate décor that reflects the rich culture of the Baba-Nyonya people. We loved our tour guide, who explained the history and significance of each room in detail and gave us plenty of time to take photos. It was a fascinating and immersive experience, making it a must-see on any Penang itinerary. Here are some pro tips for visiting the Penang Peranakan Mansion: 📍Address:29, Church Street, 10200 George Town, Penang, Malaysia. 💰Average Price per Person:RM 25 per adult and RM 15 for children (prices may vary slightly). 🕰️Business Hours:The mansion is open daily from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM. 👩🏻💼Guided tours are offered throughout the day, typically starting around 10:30 AM and 2:30 PM. However, it's best to check with the staff upon arrival for the exact schedule.

As a child learning history, I learned about the major population migrations in China, which included venturing to the Northeast, moving to the West, and settling in Nanyang. The charm of Nanyang has always been something I yearned for, and Penang is the first stop on my journey to the South Seas. A 40-minute flight transfer from Kuala Lumpur took me to Penang, where I chose to stay near Shantou Street. Char Kway Teow, Jian Dui, Curry Mee, Hokkien Mee, Durian... truly a food paradise, there are so many delicious foods worth trying. 【First Stop】Street Art and Peranakan Museum The ancient Nanyang-style architecture paired with interesting and lively street art is just perfect for a city walk. Strolling leisurely here, every snapshot is filled with artistic flair. Of course, I couldn't miss the most famous murals. The Peranakan Museum, also known as the Penang Overseas Chinese Museum, is one of the most beautiful historic mansions in George Town, Penang, displaying the daily life of the prominent Zheng Jinggui family. 【Second Stop】Penang Hill The highest peak in Penang, offering a panoramic view of the entire city. The most famous attraction of Penang Hill is the funicular train, which allows you to enjoy the scenic beauty as if you were in a comic book. Unfortunately, it was under annual maintenance when I visited, and I regretfully missed it. In the end, I had to take a jeep up the hill, the winding mountain roads even had cute monkeys to see! Reaching the top, the view over Penang was breathtaking. 【Third Stop】Durian Farm Penang is very famous for its durians, and if you like durians, you must not miss this! This is the most recommended part of my entire trip! There are many durian farms on the back of Balik Pulau. Find a farm with beautiful scenery, where you can eat durians and enjoy the view at the same time, it's simply therapeutic! 【Fourth Stop】Batu Beach The beautiful sunset beach in Penang is perfect for relaxing in the evening. It's best to arrive at the beach at 5 pm to secure a good spot to watch the sunset. Waiting quietly for the sunset, the moment you see the pink and purple twilight, you realize that the beauty of this world is just so~

At the pinnacle of his power, having been appointed the superintendent of all Chinese in Penang (Kapitan Cina), Chung purchased property along Church Street and built a large two-storey townhouse and family temple. He called his residence the "Hai Kee Chan", or Sea Remembrance Store, and designed it in the Straits Eclectic style preferred by Peranakan of his time
