Trip To Penang: Peranakan Mansion – Continue back on the Penang Trip with my classmate, now we came to the Peranakan Mansion, one of the attractions that I have never been before, it’s my first time going there during the trip. All the while, I never visited before is because one need to buy ticket to go in, RM10/person if I am not mistaken and that’s why. Hahaha. Since I’ve paid for this little trip, so the Peranakan Mansion is included.
It’s a museum, it’s a truly beautiful Peranakan Nyonya house with eclectic Straits Chinese decoration throughout the place. If you are a person who loves to learn
about the history of Straits Chinese, this might be a good place for you to indulge into the culture, and history of Peranakan, or also known as Straits Chinese. It’s a very well-preserved place and it gives you another perspective of Penang. It’s not a very big house, but then it basically explains what’s the life of Straits Chinese in the olden days.
So what I did there was just walk around and take photos. I didn’t really listen to the guided tour. Hehe. So let the pictures speak now.
