Cheong Fatt Tze - The Blue Mansion

#familytravel #couplestrip First tip: book your visit in advance. We didn’t make a reservation but were lucky enough to still get in and join a guided tour of the Blue Mansion. In my opinion, taking the guided tour is the best way to experience the Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion. Built at the end of the 19th century by the wealthy merchant Cheong Fatt Tze, the mansion has 38 rooms and once housed most of his seven wives. The interior is beautifully preserved, and our guide was very helpful in explaining the fascinating history behind the house and its architecture. Interestingly, the mansion also operates as a boutique hotel — so yes, you can actually stay there!

Penang’s George Town is like stepping into a time machine — think centuries-old mansions, Chinese shophouse charm, and Insta-worthy rainy-day vibes 🌧️🏛️. The coolest part? Everything’s walkable, packed with culture, and every building tells a wild story. TOP SPOTS TO VISIT: 1️⃣ Cheong Fatt Tze - the Blue Mansion (14, Lebuh Leith): Step inside an iconic slice of Penang’s history — dramatic blue walls, antique rooms, plus breakfast with serious old-world ambiance (just beware humidity and noise if you stay!). 2️⃣ The Southern Boutique Hotel (108, Lebuh Muntri): A peaceful spot with rooftop gardens and stylish layouts. It’s cozy for sure, just keep an eye out for noise/cleanliness quirks. 3️⃣ Pinang Peranakan Mansion (29, Church St): Don’t miss this living museum — open 9:30 AM-5 PM — filled with Peranakan antiques and photogenic rooms that scream #heritagegoals. 4️⃣ Sun Yat Sen Museum (120, Lbh Armenian): Open 9 AM-6 PM. Packed with Chinese political history and Western-style colonial architecture — ideal for a rainy afternoon geek-out. 5️⃣ Loop on Leith George Town Penang Hotel (29, Leith St): Truly standout staff — super friendly, quick service, local travel tips. Rooms can be noisy, and parking’s pricey, so bring your zen. Getting Around: Most of George Town is walkable! For rainy days, grab a ride-share from trip.com. Food: Don’t skip local street eats on Lebuh Chulia — the Char Kway Teow is legendary. Blue Mansion’s dining adds that historic glam, just set expectations for breakfast. Tips: Pack an umbrella (cloudy and rainy), bring earplugs for hotel noise, and ask hotel staff for hidden café and mural spots. #PenangDiaries #GeorgeTownWalks #TravelTips #HeritageHotels #tripdotcom
