The Blue Mansion George Town.

Described as one of the ten greatest mansions of the world The Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion certainly lives up to its claim. Built by Cheong Fatt Tze who was to become one of China's last Mandarins and 1st capitalist. The mansion had 38 rooms 5 courtyards, 7 staircases and 220 windows. He arrived in Penang penniless aged 16 from Guangdong province but acquired a massive fortune along with 8 wives! Only 1 wife was married for love (number 7) the others were all business and trade deals!
A beautiful mansion indeed.
