Chinese New Year 2013 (Kek Lok Si Temple)

It has become the tradition of local Penang to go to Kek Lok Si Temple during Chinese New Year. Many people coming here to pray to the Goddess of Mercy (Guan Yin Ma), so the family can stay health and wealth in the coming year. During this big celebration, this temple is decorated and surrounded by Light, and you can only see this once a year, which is only during Chinese New Year.

For those who miss this, we are here to bring some images on that night.

This image is taken from the commercial lots which locate bottom of the hill. You can see the building, even roof, they are putting light tiles by tiles. In the dark and from the light, you could clearly define the sculpture of the buildings.



There is a long traffic jam from the bottom hill to the top hill. Fortunately, we take motor to the top. For those will driving, we believe you need to queue for 2 hours. Some are parking their vehicle on the bottom, and hiking to the top even.

For those who came to Kek Lok Si before, you must still remember this sculpture of Goddess of Mercy, do you? A very high sculpture top of the hill and look like she is taking good care on the Penanglite. On the night, the hill was lighten up by light and "Teng Long".
People are taking image, praying and enjoying their family time.

These are the wishing band, that people praying for wealth, peaceful, healthy, education, family, career and  etc. Only RM 1 each, and you can write your name on it and hang on the boundary.

Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion

Penang Bee went to Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion - Blue Mansion this week. Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion is the Last Mandarin and First Capitalist of China in Penang. And, today this building conservation is perfectly. If you don't believe me, please look to below picture.

 Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion is totally a tradition chinese mansion in Georgetown. The architectural of the building is design to chinese religion, belief, and living style. Many Feng Shui knowledge use in this building too.

An idea of this building is about a Chinese business man who travel along the world built this mansion for his wife and children in this island, a presentative of love to his family.

Although the building is now taking over by a business man, but conservation to this building is totally impressive. Even, portait of Cheong Fatt Tze himself was still hanging on the living room.


To me, a entrance fees at RM 12 is worth for the money because the mansion's tour is provide a good service and tell excellent story about  this building to all comer. I had gone inside, and how about you?

Step by step lane

It is glad to tell you that Penang just add in a new wall mortal. It remind me that I used to stand on swing, although I was alone on that moment. 

But, less and less children are going to playground nowaday. Education has fill up their time, playground has fill by gangster.

I think this is the reason the paint is in Step by Step lane, Georgetown, Penang. If you are interested to take this picture. Just let us know.
