Situated on one of Georgetown's oldest streets, this rambling structure was formerly the 19th century residence of Cheong Fatt Tze, a powerful Chinese trading and shipping tycoon who also served as Vice Consul to China. In 1880 he commissioned Chinese artisans and craftsmen to build a home befitting his social status. One of the largest heritage mansions in Malaysia, it was painstakingly restored by its present owners before being opened to visitors. The entire layout, including an area of 3000 square meters (32,300 square feet), 38 rooms, five courtyards, seven staircases and 220 windows, is based on feng-shui principles.
