the blue mansion, aka the Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion...stated in Georgetown...this mansion masterpiece of 28 rooms, 5 courtyards, 7 staircases, and 220 windows...errm, so u can imagine how big it's going 2 b?! as it is known as cheong fatt tze mansion, it is very obvious da creater was cheong fatt tze, from GuanDong....

the mansion floorplan is essentially chinese, the overall effect is eclectic and typical of 19th century straits settlements architecture, according 2 da "tour guide"...yep! der is a tour guide 2 explain everythg in english, if u wan 2 hav other languagues...need special arrangement as this is main focus on foreign tourist :p
