Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion was built by the merchant Cheong Fatt Tze at the end of 19th century has 38 rooms, 5 granite-paved courtyards, 7 staircases & 220 vernacular timber louvre windows. Other features of the house include louvered windows, Chinese cut-and-paste porcelain work, and Art Nouveau stained glass. The mansion was originally built with careful attention to the principles of Feng Shui: it faces the sea and has Penang Hill behind it; it has water running through it. The mansion has many special architectural touches both on the exterior and the exterior, including stained glass windows, carved wood vent panels and balustrades, and many courtyards in which visitors and the original family cool off in hte inner precincts of the home.
