Various well-preserved old locomotives and carriages are parked on the platform of the station, providing travelers with a place to enjoy the railway style of the old era.

Day 4 Penang Citywalk

This morning, we'll embark on a Penang City Walk, starting with a visit to Mural Street. Penang Mural Street is George Town's "open-air art gallery." The murals here aren't just paintings; they're like old friends telling stories. From "Sister and Brother Riding Together" to "I Want Baozi," each one captures a glimpse into the lives of Penangites. As you stroll through the streets, don't forget to take a photo with the "grown-up" children depicted in the murals; they've become the face of Penang!
We then headed to the Peranakan Museum, a Penang time machine. Stepping into this century-old house, a fusion of Eastern and Western influences, it felt like stepping back in time to the golden age of Baba Nyonya culture. From the carved wooden bed to the English-style floor tiles, every exhibit tells the story of how the Nanyang Chinese used chopsticks to pick up Western cutlery, blending the two cultures into a rich cup of coffee.
Finally, we arrived at the Clan Bridges, Penang's "clan temple on the sea." These stilt houses, built on the sea, resemble floating time capsules. Zhou Clan Bridge, Lin Clan Bridge... each bridge bears witness to the courage of our ancestors who crossed the ocean. From the morning market to the fishing boats at dusk, the Clan Bridges are not only a piece of history but also a celebration of clan culture. Come and listen to the rustling of the tide beneath the wooden planks!
