Bridges

Penang Airport landed, took the bus to Georgetown to drop off, first stroll to the surname bridge. This area is by the sea, very close to Jetty Bas Terminal. High-footed wooden houses built by the sea, wooden piles hit the silt on the shore, and wooden houses built in the coastal areas form the road between houses. When the tide is high, the seawater submerges the silt and walks on the wooden rows, below is the sea. Among the many surname bridges in Penang, the "surname Zhouqiao" is well maintained and the most famous. The architectural age of "surname Zhouqiao" is in the 19th century, with a total length of more than 300 meters, and there are nearly 80 families. There are also many bridges surnamed Linqiao, surnamed Chenqiao, and surnamed Liqiao around Zhoushiqiao. These wooden plank roads are first in the offshore neutral pile, first for wood, later changed to cement columns, piles on the wooden plank, wooden beams on the house. Every wooden stake here, every rope, is a witness to history. There are shops selling crafts and drinks on both sides of the wooden road, along the wooden road to the coast, sunny weather fishermen will go fishing here, here continue the drift and struggle of generations of Chinese.

A breath of fresh air from the concrete jungle of Georgetown. The Chew, Lim and Lee jetties were all worth a visit.

I didn't expect to meet Mr. Sun Yat-sen's Penang Base Memorial Hall in Penang, in a foreign country, and recorded Mr. Zhongshan's experience of exile here. It is very meaningful and worth visiting!

This is a Chinese-style Taoist view of the 18th century, established by the first Cantonese and Fujian people who migrated to Penang Island, named Guangfu Palace. Many pilgrims came to this place to burn incense and worship the goddess, praying for good luck and smooth sailing, so it is called Goddess of Mercy Temple, located at the southernmost end of Lebun China, Jln Masjid Kapitan Keling and Lorong Stewart streets. There is a stone lion gate in front of Guangfu Palace, there is an incense stove in the square, the oversized standing incense, and the incense is constantly burning. Many pigeons are moving freely here, some are flying, some are on the roof, and some are cleaning their feathers in the pool. The attraction has a long history and is worth a visit.

徐徐霞客Rr
The Tianhou Palace in Malaysia, this is an iconic temple of the local Chinese in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. There are many people who come to worship the Mazu statue and the Guanyin Bodhisattva every day. This can be said to be a gathering place for Chinese people. The last time I went inside, almost all of them were Chinese.

Bocean
Cemetery walks appeal to history buffs or people who just like to explore a quiet bit of greenery in a city before anything else is open. An early morning walk amongst the shady magnolias through the Protestant Cemetery was quite interesting with old headstones and tombs providing a glimpse into historical life - or, more properly, historical death. There is a map at the entrance pointing out significant tombs else you can just wander around as we did. It was a bit hard to find specific graves even with this information.
