Georgetown - Day 3

Day 1 and day 2 of our trip had been very interesting. On this 3rd and last day, we chose to visit the Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion, Pinang Peranankan Mansion and Fort Cornwallis in the morning, as we had to drive back to KL in the afternoon.

Again, we were not able to visit Cheong Gatt Tze Mansion, as we were not aware that tourists are not allowed to enter without the tour guide, which is scheduled twice a day only, at 11am and 3pm.

Fort Cornwallis
Entrance to Fort Cornwallis, built by Captain Francis Light for the East India Company. No trip is complete without a group photo, right?

Our last stop of the trip is the famouse Pinang Peranakan Mansion, townhouse and ancestral hall of Chung Keng Kwee. Admission is RM10, but it was well worth it. It is very huge, with plenty of rooms, more rooms at the back of the mansion, and a temple at the side. Each room is filled with lots of Chinese and Baba Nyonya antiques, from furnitures, clothing to dining sets and even a very old large format camera! We've spent about 4 hours there.
