Penang Trip 17 September 3rd Destination : The Peranakan Mansion

Our next destination is the Peranakan Mansion
want to go this place long time ago
it cost us RM 10 for visiting this mansion and we were
provided with a guide to tell us about this house
it actually no longer own by the actual owner of this house
the owner of this house now bought this house from the first owner
at RM 6 million ringgit and renovate the whole house which cost RM 10 million
the house is really big and nice...
people from the old times really creative in building their houses
every decorations and parts in the house have their purposes, you will be amazed


here are some of the drama that take scene at this mansion
the most famous one will be the Little Nyonya and the Iron Lady
is either oversea nor local drama :-)

this is the view of the house once we entered
u can see this scene in the drama too :-)
the right hand side has a special glasses which only can see through from inside
left hand side is the staircase connected to the 2nd storey

as the guider introduce to us
this is the dining part of the owner of the house last time
there also have different room for guest at the both side
the centre part is only the dining place for the owners and family
the upstairs part is the area for the 2nd wife
as been told, 1st and 2nd wife stay different place but still in the same house

this place can also be seen in the drama :-)
this is a place for the owners and family
is kinda like a living room :-)


this is a room next to the living room just now...
is for the owner to play a game called "Chicky"
3 side around the table has a big mirror
the owner will sit at the place where there is no mirror at the back
so that the owner can see the card of the others
