Penang | Nyonya Photoshoot: Wishing You a Prosperous New Year!

| Nyonya Photoshoot: Wishing You a Prosperous New Year! The sea breeze of Penang, Malaysia, has blown through the centuries to the present day, and we have finally realized the importance of history and cultural relics. Exploring the secrets of Nyonya culture in Penang is one of the purposes of my trip. It is said that from the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He made seven voyages to the West, and the coastal areas of Fujian, Guangdong, and other places had developed fisheries, shipbuilding, and shipping industries. By the Qing Dynasty, it had become a trend for Chinese people to go to Southeast Asia. Baba Nyonya refers to the descendants of Chinese immigrants and Southeast Asian aboriginal women. It can be said that Nyonya culture is a fusion of Southeast Asian and Chinese cultures. In terms of clothing, young Nyonya girls wear kebaya and sarong. The clothes are light and cool, with complex and gorgeous patterns, and are very beautiful. This time I came to the Pinang Peranakan Mansion, and I must dress up as a Nyonya! When you come to George Town, Penang, you will see a green ancient building with a gold hollow balcony, which is very conspicuous in the sun. This is the Pinang Peranakan Mansion, also known as the Pinang Peranakan Mansion. This typical quadrangle courtyard with the architectural characteristics of the Ming and Qing Dynasties was the former residence of the Chinese tycoon Cheong Fatt Tze, who bought it at the age of 70. It is full of antique decorations, carved beams, and painted buildings. Even the lamps, porcelain, and bedding are the best configurations of the time. It is indeed a wealthy family! The furniture in the house is mostly exquisite and elegant rosewood furniture, screens, porcelain, and handicrafts. The building combines Chinese and Western styles, and the design is exquisite and unique, which is amazing. Movies such as "The Little Nyonya" were filmed here. Although this century-old ancient house has been vacant for many years and has been eroded by wind and rain, it has been restored, and its interior and exterior remain intact, still standing and reproducing the splendor of the past. Now you can wear Nyonya costumes and take photos here. The clothes, hairstyle, and tickets cost more than 100 yuan. If you don't have a friend to help you take photos, you can also find a photographer, which costs more than 100 yuan. The price is favorable, and you must try it. The photos are very beautiful!
