The construction of the Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion began before the end of the 19th Century, and it was said that Mr. Cheong Fatt Tze had hoped to house nine generations of his descendants there. The plot of land was chosen after heavy consultation with the era's preeminent feng-shui masters, and while all his Hakka friends and relatives chose to build very modern, Anglo-Indian houses in and around the area, Cheong Fatt Tze gave the go-ahead for the construction of a traditional Chinese home. Artisans were shipped in from Southern China expressly for the project, and building materials were imported from as far away as Scotland.

Cheong Fatt Tze's almost burdensome treasure trove of occupational hats - financier, tycoon, diplomat, politician, philanthropist and minister - not to mention his numerous, calling-card cramping unofficial monikers - 'Rockfeller of the East', 'J.P Morgan of China' and 'Last Mandarin & First Capitalist of China' - belie his decidedly unencumbered beginnings.

Lithuanian artist Ernest Zacharevic leaved his mark with beautiful wall painting of children all across historical Georgetown in Penand Island. The artworks are funny, fascinating, and very much open to everyone’s interpretations.

Tea Plantation

Boh Tea Plantations was founded in 1929 by J.A. Russel, a British businessman during the British colonial era in Malaysia. He was optimistic of the tea plantation business due to huge demands despite of the world-wide Great Depression at that time. The Tea Plantation is located in the Cameron Highland, a tranquil and cool fresh air place. Boh Tea Plantation has a total of 8000 acres planted with tea and it is the largest tea plantation in Southeast Asia.August 2013 | Cameron Highlands, Malaysia

The 88-floor towers are constructed largely of reinforced concrete, with a steel and glass facade designed to resemble motifs found in Islamic art, a reflection of Malaysia's Muslim religion. Another Islamic influence on the design is that the cross section of the towers is based on a Rub el Hizb (represented as two overlapping squares, which is found on a number of emblems and flags), albeit with circular sectors added to meet office space requirements.

Due to the huge cost of importing steel, the towers were constructed on a cheaper radical design of super high-strength reinforced concrete.
