Glad you went to Penang, called “The Garden of the East” in the past! You should feel comfortable because Penang has a high % of ethnic Chinese. Many speak local Fujian dialect and Mandarin. Most early Chinese immigrants came from southern China. I am impressed with your excellent English too with little Chinese accent. When you return to China, please tell your people in China to take more interest in knowing ethnic Chinese people in S. E Asia and the history related to early Chinese immigrants there.
Welcome to Penang, Malaysia. I’m from Malaysia and I’ve been following your posts to all destinations in China and abroad. Thanks for your interesting vlog..❤
@@musthpakamael3742 when 99.99% ppl in the world are saying Penang is food peradize, it means your taste bud have problem, maybe some trash food suit you 😏
53 years ago, my friends and I stopped over in Penang on our way to Singapore. It was as wonderfully welcoming then as you have shown it here. There was a feeling of peaceful relaxed calm, and thankfully you have captured the same feeling in your current work. Thank you for bringing back beloved memories.
I am Malaysian and just discovered your channel!! I have decided to use some of your cotents to introduce Malaysia and the world to my students in China. Please keep up the great work and travel safe.
Hi saw ur trip to penang.. Didn't know that u came to penang.. I will sure to show u around.. Amost watch all ur serial.. Ftom. China to Malaysia.. Hope u come to visit penang again let me know.. Take care... Carry on more wt ur program.
It was only when I landed in Tokyo that I realised how lucky I was in most of SE Asia (and South Korea, where the general standard of English is excellent). It would be almost impossible to speak every language one encounters in Malaysia - as you said, it is a true melting pot - but even in countries which weren't colonised by the British I usually had no particular problem finding English speakers. Malaysia and Singapore are a gift to the traveller like myself who invariably mispronounces even simple phrases - thanks for the video.
Dear Little Chinese Everywhere . Your videos are very charming, I did enjoy very much tour in this episode thank you for giving idea for my next trip. Thumb up,
We speak the same dialects from the same category of Origin. So it's much easier to understand each other, but in other parts of Malaysia it might be difficult as they speak a different type of Hokkien. Penang Hokkien is considered an independent Hokkien dialect separated from Malaysia Hokkien. People can literally identify a penangite based on the Hokkien they speak, this is my experience in Singapore, somehow the elders say Penang Hokkien has a slightly different accent and different use of Hokkien words and a mixture of other languages.
I’m Australian, and absolutely loved visiting Penang twice back in 1989 and 90. I love Malaysia as a whole and have been there 8 times in total but Penang and Kota Kinabalu are the places which really struck me. Penang is world famous for its food! That tall building at 20 seconds into the video was the only high-rise in George Town back then.
You speak so clearly in English. You made your video even more interesting and simple to understand since you are able to read those Chinese words and explain it in English. I really hope you will come back to Malaysia and explore more smaller towns in Malaysia.
Your videos are so wonderful....you have such a natural style; the editing is fantastic and you take us right into the local culture.....keep up the great work!
I quite agree with you, your title is spot on, a few months ago before Christmas I joined up with two friends from Thailand and we rode our motor bikes down to Malacca stopping for a few days in Penang as one of my co riders had lived and worked there for a few years and wanted to revisit and show us around. It was fascinating and I really enjoyed the visit. I worked in the merchant navy for twenty years and I know I visited Malaysia but I am not sure about Penang, we were only a short time in each port and had to do repairs, maybe we took a water taxi ashore with your old man to have a night ashore it sounds like it had plenty of bars and beautiful girls to entertain us!
(overseas) chinese who had emigrated from china about 100+ years ago, have retained much of the pre-20th chinese culture, especially their religious practices
Nice mix of information and footage. As a foreign youtuber your information is quite good and correct compared to other foreign TH-cam/ TikTok travelers. Good job and enjoy the rest of Malaysia!
Thank you, it's nice to hear that Penang is still so active and friendly. 21 years ago we enjoyed the happy, generous people, the delicious food and of course the rich natural, cultural and artistic creations. Your video makes us want to return...
Very interesting. I was born and raised in M'sia. Much of the history today is some how a little diluted. The British East India Company helped to build roads, ports, schools and other infrastructure were for their own interest to exploit resources, cheap labour, collecting taxes from the local people. Thank you Little Chinese for refreshing my memory of places in Penang I used to go visiting in my early days. It's a long journey and hard work, appreciate your effort in bringing good story to our front screen and will certainly follow every of your coming new episode in provincial China.
18:14 this is an interesting point! The colonisation left behind systemic racism which still impacts malaysia today, but comparing to the French that didn't really help 'develop' Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia , just caused chaos there ... i guess we got the lesser of two evils?
Welcome to Penang! Your videos are always a joy to watch, very well narrated and pack with so much information together with delightful observations. This video is definitely one of the best ones I’ve seen.
Hi Yan, how are you? I love your work ❤. I'm from Malaysia, Chinese ethnic, Danny is my name. Round the world in 80 days is not possible after seeing your lovely work. Will see you again.
Thanks you for sharing this experience. You are very different to other TH-camrs. You want to share culture and you take the time to learn the details to share. I like your style. It is very watchable.
I visit Penang some 8 years back with my family on our own, second trip indeed, prior to that I joint a packaged tour another 10 years beyond. Penang is really rich in heritage, and I walk the Sun Y S Trail. I covered the similar paths both in Hong Kong and Singapore, but I would rank Penang top. Of the 72 Martyrs in Guangzhou City, the birth place of Modern China, quite a big number came from Penang, Malacca and Singapore. And many mechanics and truckers from Penang help built the highway linking China to Myanmar during the WW2. Great respects to Penang indeed.
I have been in Penang more than 10 times. It is a nice town with good food and friendly people. However, traveling there and staying for a few nights is OK, but not for a long time. Thank you for this video to recall my memories
Thank you for your kindness of taking us w/you on this Journey. Your compilation of scenery & country interest are amazingly Beautiful. You’re very talented❤
If you are in no hurry to return to China, I hope you stay in Malaysia longer. It is a beautiful country with lots to see. People are friendly and hospitable, and the food is fantastic! I enjoyed watching yr video very much. You did a great job! 👍👍🙏🙏
What a great description of your travels, thanks for sharing. I appreciate you taking the time to put this together and the level of detail you go to explain things. Even down to the subtitles... amazing. Keep up the great work!
It is so gratifying to see how easily you can get by in Penang with spoken Mandarin; as the man said, it is the only way to benefit from 5000 years of history. I had first seen your video of the communal homes in Fujian and this video demonstrates what an accomplished story teller you are!. You English is crystal clear (did you study in Ireland?) and your use of drone technology is very good. I have subscribed to your channel and yes...another thumb's up.
Great content!! I'm going to Malaysia in a week and your videos are filling me with excitement! I love how you are talking to the locals to truly understand the place.
Welcome to my hometown, Penang. I like how that guy explaining a piece of history to you. Also you made a good decision coming to Penang 1st because it was a small island but showcasing the whole Malaysia. So it's easy for first timer traveling in Malaysia.
We were there in 2018 and your video has brought back a flood of memories. We went to all the places in your video including inside the Temple of the 1000 Buddhas and the connecting snake temple where we handled docile but poisonous green vipers and had our photos taken supporting a huge python in our arms. We are so excited to be in Malaysia in 3 weeks time and you have certainly whetted our appetite for visiting Penang again. Thanks for the extra detailed information and food tips. We definitely have unfinished business in Penang especially where food is concerned.
if you noticed many travel vloggers will suddenly see their videos go viral when they come Malaysia because Malaysian are a very curious bunch of people that like to see what people think of their country 😁 I know of many foreigners who suddenly jump in their subscribers and views after they visited Malaysia and welcome to my hometown !
Yan, your videos are the best! So interesting, informative, and entertaining, and formatted so well. I love the music you choose for the background in your videos, particularly in this one.
. . . that nice gentleman that briefed you on the history ( at the clan Ong ( Wang ) jetty is a dear cousin of mine . compliments to a well narrated and done video ! 👍
Leong san tong Khoo kongsi clanhouse 龍山堂邱氏宗祠 (a UNESCO heritage) at 18 Canon Square is worthy of a visit. You’d be impressed by its immaculate architectural and artistic finesse. It was one of the filming locations of the movie The King and I ( 周潤發演泰王). Many mainland China’s leaders, including president 胡錦濤， paid it a visit during their visits of Malaysia.
Good content again..very nice. I like it that you always do your research on all the places you visited. Seems, in Georgetown, you missed visiting the Dr Sun Yat Sen museum. Its at 120, Armenian street. Its here that Dr Sun stayed and planned the Dong Meng Hui's uprising against the Qing dynasty in 1911. Also here, Dr Sun started the world oldest Chinese newspaper "Kwong Wah Yit Poh" back in 1910. Meantime, stay safe, looking forward to more vids from you.
The lovely place I have ever visited. The people are really charming. The historical George town is blessing to walk. Variety of food makes this place a phenomenal. With the free bus circling in the downtown, I can roam crisscrossing from place to place at ease. Really amazing town! I will revisit again very soon.
Doukou drink is very speciality in penang. Whole banana leaf wrap nasi lemak among best way eating nasi lemak....hope more you can explore malaysia.. melaka you also need to go a place where chinese malay relation start 500 years ago
You seem like such a chill person to travel with, haha! Absolutely loved the way you introduced us to the history of such a beautiful city. I'll be saving this video for my next trip~
Awww I absolutely adore Penang, its rich heritage, multiculturalism, historical buildings and museums, and friendly people! Was super glad I visited Penang (also Phuket and Singapore) over summer as all three have traces of straits Chinese footprints - excellent for research!
I was in Penang two months ago and thankfully, the weather was cooler than I anticipated throughout the three weeks of my stay. One thing I dread about visiting southeast Asia is the hot and humid weather.
@@davidk1415 It has been cool and humid all this month and a big rain every day, but only for an hour or two. High humidity is very good for the skin and hair tho. Penang has the climate that God made us for, not cold or dry.
@@davidrichards1741 I believe Penangites in general would welcome the cool weather. While high humidity is good for the skin, it could have a negative effect on arthritis sufferers. That said, I may have a white Christmas this year. 😀
@@davidk1415 Cold weather like canada is terrible for arthristis and people with that must move from there. I didn't know that bout the humidity tho, which I always dislliked in hot or cold.
Hi Yan! In your video journey, you have covered many historical places in Penang..It is wonderful..Thank you. In the past peoples travelled to Penang from Butterworth by boats or ferries.All the ferry had its own names. They are named after the islands in Malaysia..e.g. Penang ferry.😊❤.God Bless.
So yummy Penang foods 😋 thanks for sharing, and we welcome you and hope you can stay longer to travel to many other places, from hills/ mountain to seasides😅. I'm sure you'll fall in love with our hospitality, food, and similar cultures to mainland China and also the Malays, Indian's, Kadazan.... cultures, too. True Malaysians 😊
You can find cultural diversity in all larger cities in Malaysia. Many, if not most, historical firsts are found in Taiping. Examples are museum, railroad, prison, Chinese name city, zoo, park, tin mines and whatnot.
what a beautiful country. your drone shot really helped me see how big the guanyin was! it is huge!!! I am now very hungry because of the food stalls you showed. thank you for another great video!
@@heythave you can try Georgetown Hotel, Old Penang Hotel, Thirty Three Stewart House, Red Inn Court, The 80's Guesthouse, Wassup Youth Hostel, Vstay Guesthouse, Tune Hotel, Red Rock Hotel etc... There are so many places with tons of food to choose from, you don't have to worry about going hungry!
You are an amazing Ambassador for Malaysia and I like the no frill and spontaneous narratives and enjoyed your documentary which is well researched. Next trip you need to visit Melaka with rich Chinese heritage and probably the first inhabitants who lived in China and was visited by the famous Admiral Cheng Ho. It has the Portuguese, Dutch and British influence due to the lucrative spice trade. Also don’t miss Johor Bahru that has the biggest Teochew population outside China.
At the cendol place there are more shops along the street with the signage that says ‘Teochew Cendol’. You can sit in those shops, or even the coffee shop at the corner next to the cendol stall. But that coffee shop is usually very pack.
Time 25:26 Baba & Nyonya - From Wikipedia : The Peranakan Chinese commonly refer to themselves as Baba-Nyonya. The term "Baba" is an honorific for Straits Chinese men. It originated as a Hindustani (originally Persian) loan-word borrowed by Malay speakers as a term of affection for one's grandparents, and became part of the common vernacular. What is the meaning of "Nyonya" ? : a foreign married lady. Nyonya (also spelled nyonyah or nonya) is a Malay and Indonesian honorific used to refer to a foreign married lady. "Peranakan" is a conjugated Indonesian or Malay word meaning the descendants of the intermarriage between indigenous people. Baba and Nyonya are a group of Chinese descendants (or descendants of Chinese men and indigenous Southeast Asians women such as Malays) who have a unique position among the Chinese in the ethnic group called Peranakan found in the Malay Peninsula, concentrated in the Straits States, especially in the state of Malacca, Penang in Malaysia and the Republic of Singapore. They can also be found in the country of the White Elephant (Thailand), especially in Tanjung Salang (Phuket) and Rundung (Ranong). However, some of them refuse to admit that they are Chinese but instead claim that they are British citizens and are very proud of this position. Furthermore, they despised the new Chinese immigrants, and had their own clubs that did not allow Chinese immigrants to enter. They call themselves "Baba" or "Peranakan" because their culture, which originates from the traditional Chinese heritage, has elements of Malay cultural influence. The adaptation and diffusion of their culture to the socio-cultural atmosphere in their environment in the past, that is through intermarriage between the Chinese and Malays, is the main reason why the next generations call them "Baba". In terms of followers, most still maintain the traditional Chinese and Buddhist religions, but many have embraced other religions such as Christianity and Islam which are very popular among teenagers.

You are an amazing Ambassador for Malaysia and I like the no frill and spontaneous narratives and enjoyed your documentary which is well researched. Next trip you need to visit Melaka with rich Chinese heritage and probably the first inhabitants who lived in China and was visited by the famous Admiral Cheng Ho. It has the Portuguese, Dutch and British influence due to the lucrative spice trade. Also don’t miss Johor Bahru that has the biggest Teochew population outside China.
Thank you and warmest greetings to Penang, Malaysia
At the cendol place there are more shops along the street with the signage that says ‘Teochew Cendol’. You can sit in those shops, or even the coffee shop at the corner next to the cendol stall. But that coffee shop is usually very pack.
Time 25:26 Baba & Nyonya - From Wikipedia : The Peranakan Chinese commonly refer to themselves as Baba-Nyonya. The term "Baba" is an honorific for Straits Chinese men. It originated as a Hindustani (originally Persian) loan-word borrowed by Malay speakers as a term of affection for one's grandparents, and became part of the common vernacular. What is the meaning of "Nyonya" ? : a foreign married lady. Nyonya (also spelled nyonyah or nonya) is a Malay and Indonesian honorific used to refer to a foreign married lady. "Peranakan" is a conjugated Indonesian or Malay word meaning the descendants of the intermarriage between indigenous people.
Baba and Nyonya are a group of Chinese descendants (or descendants of Chinese men and indigenous Southeast Asians women such as Malays) who have a unique position among the Chinese in the ethnic group called Peranakan found in the Malay Peninsula, concentrated in the Straits States, especially in the state of Malacca, Penang in Malaysia and the Republic of Singapore. They can also be found in the country of the White Elephant (Thailand), especially in Tanjung Salang (Phuket) and Rundung (Ranong). However, some of them refuse to admit that they are Chinese but instead claim that they are British citizens and are very proud of this position. Furthermore, they despised the new Chinese immigrants, and had their own clubs that did not allow Chinese immigrants to enter. They call themselves "Baba" or "Peranakan" because their culture, which originates from the traditional Chinese heritage, has elements of Malay cultural influence. The adaptation and diffusion of their culture to the socio-cultural atmosphere in their environment in the past, that is through intermarriage between the Chinese and Malays, is the main reason why the next generations call them "Baba". In terms of followers, most still maintain the traditional Chinese and Buddhist religions, but many have embraced other religions such as Christianity and Islam which are very popular among teenagers.

I went to Ali Nasi Lemak three years ago before the lock down. Authentic and tasty "nasi lemak".
This is one of the best video I’ve seen in awhile. Good job.
It is a great fun to see the world trough the eyes of such a curious, kind and smiling girl
Yan, your english is excellent, as are your videos. The information and details are fascinating.❤
