Gopeng Heritage And Museum House

After the breakfast in Gopeng food court, we were taken to the Heritage House and the Museum which is situated in town....

my first time here.. .

fascinated by the houses ... so authentic...

the Museum is just opposite...

the entrance...
next we adjourned to the Heritage House ...

organ of yesteryears?
after awhile, we adjourned to the Heritage House...
which is more interesting... to me....

the Heritage House

no fees charged...

but there is a donation box at the front...

we were briefed as we walked in...

the "Opium" settee..

the lady-in-red was the Heritage guide
...even the light bulb has a "story" behind it...

the displays....

something like the Time Tunnel in Camerons...

we went up ... it is a three storey shop...
all beautifully maintained to reserve the authenticity..

an indoor garden...

ice-seller....

the dining marble tables...

barber of yester years...

Want a ride?

when we left, a group of school kids came...
I feel it is very educational...to let them know..
that it is not about computers those days...
my girl should have come for this trip...
Well, perhaps another time....

  4. Some local stores in Hawaii have that ice machine that grinds ice bricks and makes shaved ice. Pour some fruit syrup on top and the shaved ice is delicious and refreshing on a hot day!

  7. Thanks for the tour on your heritage, I love it!! The only thing that seems not to have changed much is the barber chair.
