Day 3
It was our last day to see the
uniqueness of Penang and we did feel sad to go back home. Nevertheless, it did
not meant that we will let the day went by without appreciating Penang to the
fullest! Our target for our third day was to explore UNESCO heritage and
cultural sites acknowledged worldwide. We just walked all day long with full of
curiosity and enthusiasm. It took us one whole day to finish touring! Here were the
places that we visited:
- · Penang Peranakan Mansion
- · Armenian Street
- · Kg Kling Mosque
- · Cathedral of The Assumption
- · Clan Jetty
- · Komtar
- · Little India
- · Campbell Street
- · Esplanade and Penang Fort Cornwallis
- · Queen Victoria Memorial Clock Tower
- · City Hall
- · Town Hall
- · Mahamarimman Temple
- · Teochew Temple
- · Loveland
- · Penang Road
- · Chulia Road
- · Chowrasta Street
At the Cheong Fatt Mansion, we did not enter
the building because we for sure will visit the place with you. So let it be
mysterious and full of surprises! J
FYI, the mansion popularly known as ‘Blue Mansion’ is a renowned location to
film movies and television series. The architecture is mesmerising and it is a
must-see place in Penang!
Same goes to the Penang Peranakan
Mansion. We did not enter it as well but trust us, this old mansion is so
famous that it always included in travel documentaries, where it depicting the
life of Straits Chinese or Peranakan.
We then head to the Penang State
Museum. We believed that we need to have a tour here so that we can know Penang
as a whole before went off to see it live. Thank god the place is still intact
because it was almost destroyed in World War II bombing and now, it is full of
Penang historic artifacts.
Another location that is
necessary to have a sneak peek is the Kg. Kling Mosque. We had our prayer here
at noon and we bumped into many foreigners that were very interested to know
the beautiful Islam facts. The Moghul design features stunning minarets and
domes really wows us that we didn’t feel like staying there for only short
time. Yup, we stayed longer that what we
should be ^^.
We went to do some purse-thinning
activities at Chowrasta, Penang Road buying the well-known fruit pickles, Jeruk
Pak Ali. We also bought some signature food of Penang and got ourselves
bloated.
Last but not least, the most
interesting activity that we did was the painted wall hunting in all across historical Georgetown that were drawn by Ernest Zacharevic. The artworks are fascinating and meaningful.
Frankly... no caption needed. yup. it literally shows that we were having so much fun!
