Penang Trip 2011- Rumah Peranakan @ Nyonya House

My next destination was this famous Rumah Peranakan, also known as Nyonya mansion, which is also located in George Town. The first owners of these house were known as Nyonyas, which is a mix of Chinese and Malay.

All their belongings and stuffs have been maintained in pristine condition and many dramas relating to Nyonya stories have also been shot here. RM10 per entry though. Overall it was really an eye opener to experience all the Nyonya culture and heritage under one roof.

This house is easy to spot as it is really really big.

The few dramas that had been shot here. The more famous ones are Little Nyonya.
