    >100km from Kuala Lumpur
    Highlights: The Dutch Red House is located in the center of Holland Square. It was built in 1650. It is said that it was originally a church, and was later changed to the city government. It is now the Malacca Museum, which houses historical relics from Malay, Portugal, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. Play Guide Today, the museum in the Red House is actually divided into six museums, displaying different historical relics, so it is called "StadthuysMuseumsComplex", including the Museum of History and Ethnology (MuseumSejarahdanEtnografi), Art Museum (MuseumSastera), Education Museum (MuseumPendidikan) et al. Crossing the Malacca River Bridge to the east bank of the river, you will be greeted by a neat square with a red clock tower and a Victorian fountain. Like all fountains, there will always be tourists throwing into it. Coins to make a wish. The square is surrounded by red Dutch buildings. Facing the square is the old Red House, which is the oldest building preserved by the Dutch in the East. The Stadthuys have thick red brick walls, heavy hardwood doors, and wide stone steps in front of them. Museum Introduction The larger of the 6 museums is the History and Ethnology Museum. The main antiques are related to the past Malacca Dynasty.

    "In Jetty Bas Terminal, taking the bus to the tourist distribution center under the mountain, directly to the window to buy tickets and take the cable car up the mountain is the most convenient way to travel, helping me save a lot of climbing time. There are ice cream sales on the mountain, as well as restaurants, amusement parks and many observation decks. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can enjoy the charm of the natural scenery, overlooking the Georgetown port terminal, Penang Bridge and city construction. Banner Mountain (Malay Bukit Bendera; Penang Chinese call it Banner Mountain; English Penang Hill means Penang Mountain) is located in the north-central Penang, the main peak is 821 meters above sea level. During British rule, senior officials lived here, and soldiers under the mountain used the flag to convey an important message, calling the mountain The flag-raising mountain, which is the origin of the name of the flag mountain. It is a common way to travel down the mountain by cable car. The first cable car was officially launched in 1923 until 1977. The new cable car was introduced from Switzerland from 1977 to 2010. The new cable car, which is now in use, was officially launched in May 2011, with speeds of up to 10 km per hour and up to the top of the mountain in four minutes. In September 2021, Penang, Malaysia, was listed as a UNESCO Biopark Reserve, becoming the third region in the country to receive this award."

    George Town
    >100km from Kuala Lumpur
    Highlights: A few years ago, most tourists came to Penang to find all kinds of food, but now many tourists come here to find those famous murals and iron sculpture cartoons in the historical area, and queuing to take pictures with them has become a It is a must-have item for many tourists to come here. About 5 years ago, Ernest Zacharevic, a Lithuanian artist, came to the century-old street in Penang. At first, it was just an unintentional backpacking trip, but he did not expect it to become his creative base, and even more unexpectedly gave Penang Old Street different from the vitality of the past. His mural is a work of art from MirrorsGeorgetown. In 2012, in order to coincide with Penang's celebration of the 4th anniversary of George Town's entry into the World Cultural Heritage, the Penang Arts Council listed "George Town Mirror" as one of the celebration activities. Officially, because of such a celebration, so many works of life are displayed in front of us. Penang's murals are scattered in the streets and alleys of George Town, and you can see it when you walk around the streets. According to the map, you can connect some scenic spots and murals to design a reasonable play route. If you don’t have enough time, you can also choose to ride a bicycle or take a human-powered tricycle. The cost of renting a bicycle is about 70 yuan a day, and the cost of a tricycle is 40 ringgit an hour. The advantage of the rickshaw is that the drivers are all locals, who are relatively familiar with these murals, and it saves time to play. Tour Guide Whether it is from the Everbright Building, Surname Bridge or Love Lane, it is a good sightseeing route. At present, there are more than 20 murals and 52 iron sculpture cartoons in George Town, which are distributed on the streets of LebuhChulia, LebuhAhQuee, LebuhVictoria and LebuhArmenian. Ernest Zacharevic has 8 murals here. "Photo with the Old Man" on LebuhArmenian Street, this is his first work, the fresco has begun to fade due to the age. There is also a well-known copy of "Sister and Brother Riding Together" on this street. In the picture, an older sister who is not very skilled in driving takes her excited and nervous younger brother on a bicycle and does not know where to go. Many tourists will put out the action of pushing the back seat of the bicycle, or the action of actually riding the bicycle behind them, which is very interesting. In addition, several well-known works are "Broken Heart" by Love Lane, "Kung Fu Girl" by LebuhMuntri, "The Boy Who Chased the Wind" by LebuhAhQuee Street, and "The Resting Tricycle Driver" by PenangRoad Wait. Today, in addition to the original murals, Chinese painter Chen Yukang has created many art works about cats together with the "101 Lost Cats" organization. In addition, Penang also has a "Sign George Town Project", which uses comic-style iron sculpture murals to tell the legends of the old street or the life of the citizens. A total of 52 iron plastic cartoons for the "Sign George Town Project" are the works of SculptureAtWork, a local art group that won the "Sign George Town Project" competition. As long as you walk on the streets of Penang, you will always find many vivid and interesting cartoons, which will add some childishness to the nostalgic Penang.

    "Superb view of the whole island. Facilities are well maintained. Love the short intro, quite impressed. No need to take photo behind the glass at the observatory, as you can take them at the top without the glass and glare. As far as I know, there seems to be no time limit up there, so you can take your own sweet time and wait for the crowd to thin and get nice shot during sunset or night time."

    "It is recommended to come at sunset time. In addition to watching the mosque, you can also see the sunset scenery of the beach. If there is no cloud and no rain, it will be a good experience. It is not recommended to walk over, be sure to take Grab."

    >100km from Kuala Lumpur
    Highlights: The Malacca Straits Mosque is located on the artificial island of Malacca. If the water level is high, it looks like a floating building. The Straits Mosque under the sunset is very beautiful. The sound of chanting from the radio and the sound of the waves are intertwined. The golden dome is reflected in the setting sun. After dark, the mosque will light up, and the whole building will turn into another color, with a unique charm.

    "This is a place that you can understand more about Peranakan culture. This historic mansion is located at Penang Georgetown. Once you step into the mansion, you will feel the vibes that how Peranakan people live in Malaysia long long time ago. The museum entrance fees RM25 including tour both in Mandarin or English. The guide will tour you around the house and tell you the history of Baba and Nyonya. Highly recommended you are in Georgetown!Never forget that the Singapore drama - Little Nyonya (also the latest China version) scene are took from this mansion!"

    Highlights: This traditional indigenous Chinese residence is a typical 19th century Baba Nyonya house decorated with Chinese hardwood furniture inlaid with mother-of-pearl and carved with a mix of Chinese, Victorian and Dutch patterns. Since Zheng Chenggong's voyage to the West, a large number of Chinese have arrived in Nanyang and settled down. Chinese men married mixed-race children born to Malay women. The men were called Baba and the women were called Nyonya. At the same time, the fusion of traditional Chinese culture and Malay culture came into being. A new cultural system is Nyonya culture. The Nyonya Museum is the filming location of Yue's family in the TV series "Little Nyonya". It is the ancestral home of a famous local Baba family. The first-generation owner started out selling spices, and the current owner is the fourth-generation Baba.
