Penang Mural Trail

Murals on the streets of Georgetown is the workmanship of Ernest Zacharevic, a young Lithuania-born artist. The mural project, known as Mirrors George Town, is part of George Town Festival 2012.

The murals were never given names.  They were eventually named by avid fans. 

There are 9 murals, all painted on walls of historic building within the Georgetown’s World Heritage Site.  Though not too distantly apart, it is still very tiring walking around looking for the murals under the hot tropical sun.  Still, driving around in a car is not encouraged, as most of the roads are one-way traffic and parking lots are extremely scarce.  The best way is either riding a bicycle or motorcycle.

古早味 之 姓氏桥 Penang's Clan Jetties

到槟城的姓氏桥，不禁百感交加。浓浓的乡音、熟悉的水上人家、海风的味道，仿佛回到儿时阿嘛的家。

姓氏橋位于檳城渡輪碼頭不遠處，是華人抵達檳城最早的聚落。

房屋都搭蓋在海上，底部用桩柱支撐，並用木板鋪設成橋樑作為村里的街道，是馬來西亞一處典型的水上人家聚落。

早期，聚落的住戶都按姓氏區分勢力範圍各自組成社區幫會，因此而形成今日的姓林桥、姓周桥、姓陈桥、姓李桥、姓杨桥、杂姓桥及平安桥。当中以姓周桥规模最大，水上人家约60户。姓王桥已人去桥空，遗址已变成停车场。

村民的祖籍以福建同安县居多，老一辈村民则一般以捕鱼为生。

雖說是早年的移民落腳站，今日仍有許多人居住在那兒。
