A light lunch in a breezy 'five foot way':
Inside another heritage property, very similar to the Cheong Fatt Tze mansion - except with the added ability to take photos. They both have the same layout, predicated on the principles of feng shui. This includes the following elements:
- facing the sea
- riding on the dragon's back, ie. with either a hill behind (in this case Penang Hill), or an artificial slope within the house by adding a few rising steps at the rear half of the property
- incorporation of the Chinese elements - fire (by having the atrium open to the air/sunlight), metal (cast iron from Glasgow), water (pipes channel the rain under the house), and earth
- gold is buried under the house for good financial fortune
No lucky ch'i for this fellow:
