Oh, this Paris
No matter how lazy you are, we are close to the 19th century
Elsewhere is farther and thinner
-Mu Xin
Like most Xiamen boys,
When I was a kid, I loved following my elders around. The waves linger,
Making tea and chatting around.
Grow up and have wings,
After circling the earth,
I began to want to search for the taste of southern Fujian in my memory around the world.
This time I want to go to Penang.
Carrying my contax T2 and Kodak film,
I plan to use warm film to accompany me in my search for my roots. 😜
✨Tan Jetty✨
✨The surname is Chen Qiao Sunrise✨
The world's surname is Chen,
Most of them claim to be prosperous out of Yingchuan.
It's really lonely. The staff is responsible for five hundred.
My surname is Chen Ye.
I didn’t learn Yingchuan until I arrived in Penang! 😜
Punishing myself for getting up at three o'clock in the middle of the night,
Go to Chenqiao to watch the sunrise!
There is no one along the way,
Except for me, the early bird🐦
It’s the people from the newspaper office!
Brighter than the moon in the middle of the night,
It is the light of the temple by the sea. ✨
Passing through the wooden houses on the sea,
Along the wooden bridge,
Go all the way to the end.
The black in front of you is not black
What white are you talking about?
-"you are my eye"
After watching the sunrise,
Come and have a bowl of the most powerful
Tiger Char Koay Teow
✨Tiger Fried Kway Teow✨
How powerful is it?
Let’s keep watching!
I actually forgot to focus!
Needless to say,
You know how delicious it is! 😜
Then come to the one opposite the tiger
✨NARROW MARROW✨
Have a cup of coffee!
Push the door open,
The casual breath hits my face,
Paintings and stickers on the wall,
But everything is worth savoring!
Hosted by Jamie and Alvin,
Talented and approachable.
The old house I will stay in tonight,
It's their home.
I’ll talk to you later!
✨The Blue Mansion✨
✨Former Residence of Zhang Bishi✨
Zhang Bishi,
The richest man in Southeast Asia who is as rich as any other country,
Having lived past the age of sixty,
The pockets are deeper than those of the Qing government,
Close friends Sun Yat-sen and Li Hongzhang,
The important thing is that he also has an eighth-bedroom wife,
The complete victory group in life is correct! 😆
Lend me a twilight year,
Lend me fragments,
lend me to look forward and backward,
lend me to be as stubborn as a young man.
-"lend me"
After Zhang Bishi was over fifty years old,
Married to the seventh wife who was less than twenty years old.
It took many years to build the Blue House.
To my dearesther.
It takes about ten minutes to walk from the Blue House.
Come and have a seat at the local cafe most recommended by locals!
Toh Soon cafe
✨多春✨
K OPI “O” Don’t buy it
☕️Black coffee ice without any added ingredients☕️
My favorite cold drink in Penang,
Because I really like this sentence Hokkien mixed with English,
So interesting!
Next, come to ✨Nonya Museum✨ and hang out!
After Chinese and Malay get married,
The boy he gave birth to was named Baba.
The girl is called Nyonya.
I remember when I was a child, my grandmother’s family lived in Datie Street.
Take a walk up the slope next to Adi Prefecture Store.
At the door of the house where the pancake crust is made,
There's always a group of very old ladies playing cards,
I remember this small colorful sign like this.
I didn’t know until today when I listened to the tour guide,
In the past, the male master of a wealthy family would meet guests outside to discuss matters.
Ladies are not allowed to play mahjong too loudly.
Just use playing cards instead.
Dig, so smart!
Miss's dressing table,
Eh,
The compact is similar to what BENEFIT makes now!
Hahaha,
The most noisy thing is the chicken coop in the bridal chamber!
It is said that the bride will be asked to catch one out.
See if it's a male or a female,
Just know if the first baby will be a boy!
I was just thinking,
If it were me,
Then I will definitely catch two in one hand.
It’s better if a man and a woman join together.
Life should be pretty good,
I will definitely not be bitter about my mother-in-law! 😜
The Nyonya Museum is really huge!
After wandering for an hour and a half,
The weather was so hot that it was almost scorched by the temperature of over 30 degrees.
There are only three words left in my head: ice American style!
Immediately enter the small alley coffee shop next to Guanyin Temple
✨The Alley✨
Just a coffee shop with delicious American style ice cream,
Most other coffees are not that bad to drink.
I think so! 😜
Coming to check in next
✨ARCANE✨
As soon as the door is opened,
This is the old house that makes my heart beat.
The simple beauty of ruins,
swaying light and shadow,
Creaking wooden stairs,
Marrow and Arcane,
Two dear cats.
the best is,
There is an open-air bath with a view of the temple!
While taking a shower,
While breathing in the memory of the hot summer vacation in my childhood.
It was a gust of wind blowing,
The sound of rustling leaves,
The evaporation of the soil is mixed with the smell of potted plants,
Mixed with slightly warm bricks.
Coming out of the shower head,
It is warm water that has been warmed by the sun,
It's just different from the water in the water heater.
No need to adjust the water temperature,
It's just the right temperature.
✨FROG HILL SUNSET✨
It takes almost an hour to drive from the city.
Get a perfect sunset.
I wish I could stay awake at dusk,
I wish this sunset could continue to surround me.
Next,
I want to write most seriously about my favorite place in Penang this time!
✨Adieu Vielle✨
✨Puxiang Old House✨
I accidentally visited this old house by the sea through Instagram.
A space that combines antiques and tea ceremony,
If you find a treasure,
Decided to fly to Penang for a visit.
Wilson and Steven,
Humble, funny.
I didn’t expect the manager of the antique shop at all.
They are actually two cute and handsome boys!
What’s even more amazing is that we hit it off immediately ,
The smells are the same,
first visit,
After a few cups of tea, we chatted with them until late at night.
Take me to the beach again,
Enjoy the moonlight.

Interesting antique taste,
When talking about each collection,
Their eyes are shining,
Tell me everything in detail,
Those long-lasting memories behind .
The Kung Fu Tea experience they prepared for airbnb guests,
I like it too!
Clear new to mellow,
Three sticks of tea,
Three spaces.
Every cup of tea brewed casually but with care,
Cup after cup into my heart.
The creation of light and objects in each room,
Not sloppy at all,
I want to stay in every room for one night!
When saying goodbye,
Wilson told me,
Xihe Lin family,
It's the title of the owner of this old house.
Dig and learn again!
Penang is so sunny.
all year round,
Only summer and summer,
Summer and summer.
But it’s so hot and I still like this city so much,
It seems to be the only one right now.
I remember when we were young
Everyone said it sincerely
Every word was a word
Early in the morning at the train station
The long street was dark and empty of people
The shop selling soy milk was steaming
The old days Sex becomes slow
Cars, horses, and mail are all slow
A lifetime is only enough to love one person
The locks in the past were also beautiful
The keys are beautiful and stylish
People will understand once you lock the lock
-"Once Upon a Time Slow"
