張弼士故居是喬治市最有名的建築物,擁有38個房間,220個窗口的宏偉大廈,始建於1880年代,並於1990年代從廢墟中救回。 其獨特的藍色外觀是基於靛藍的石灰水洗的結果。
張弼士是一位白手興家的客家商人,居室為他的第七個(也是最寵愛的)妻子而特別建造。 它榮獲久負盛名的聯合國教科文組織保育與文化遺產獎。
The most photographed building in George Town, the Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion is a magnificent 38-room, 220-window mansion that was built in the 1880s and rescued from ruin in the 1990s. Its distinctive blue-hued exterior is the result of an indigo-based limewash.
Cheong Fatt Tze was a rags-to-riches Hakka merchant-trader who commissioned the mansion for his seventh (and favourite) wife. It won the prestigious UNESCO Conservation & Heritage award.
