Pinang Peranakan Mansion
Baba-Nyonya mansion museum at 29 Church Street in the George Town UNESCO core, presenting Straits Chinese furniture, porcelain, and domestic rooms in a restored townhouse once linked to Kapitan Cina Chung Keng Kwee. Open daily including public holidays, commonly from about 9:30am to 5:30pm; confirm current ticket prices at the door. Pair a morning visit with a reserved Peranakan lunch nearby so the collection and the table share one cultural thread. Allow at least an hour; midday heat makes the air-conditioned rooms a practical pause between street walks.

While you're there
Church Street sits in the heart of George Town’s heritage grid. Combine with China House for a café pause and Seven Terraces if you want a nearby courtyard hotel. Confirm tour-language options and last entry times.
Pro Tip: Ask for an English tour when you buy Church Street tickets; language slots and last entry change by day, and a rushed self-guide misses the house’s better stories.
