When I came to Malaysia, I had a great experience that going abroad was like not studying abroad. Here, Chinese culture and art are displayed everywhere. Malaysia is a big country with diverse cultures. For example, in Penang, one moment you were in Guangdong, then you were in Fujian, the next you went to India, and then you came to England. The combination of diverse ethnic groups and diverse religious cultures has formed the "big miscellaneous society" culture and art in Nanyang.
Malacca in northern Malaysia is an area where China people live. Red lanterns are hung everywhere here. On the street, China people run homestays, restaurants and special snacks, while speaking Chinese in Fujian and Guangdong dialects. There are many Chinese-style houses here, and street communities built in ancient times are still well preserved.
Of all the cities in Malaysia, Penang is the city with the strongest Chinese flavor. Penang is located in the northwest of Malaysia. At the beginning, a large part of China's labor force given by the British went to Penang, and China's labor force brought its own culture and art to a city to develop. Malaysia has a complete Chinese teaching management system.
you can see the shadow of our compatriots in the motherland all over the world, because long-term living abroad will always lead to a problem: assimilation. For example, in Thailand, the total number of China people is very large, which is our country with more overseas Chinese. Because of the large population, Chinese people get married and have children in Thailand. In the long run, China people are gradually assimilated, and they can't even speak Chinese. In daily communication, they use English instead of Thai characters, and rarely speak authentic Chinese.
However, there is no problem in the communication between Chinese in Malaysia and Mandarin in China. It is more important to add local characteristics. China people in Malaysia account for about one third of the total population in Malaysia, and China people in Malaysia have been speaking Chinese since they were young. Chinese education for Chinese is second to none in Southeast Asia. Welcome to a big country with a detailed Chinese education system in primary and secondary schools, junior high schools and universities. Not only Malaysian Chinese can speak Chinese, but other races can also understand some Chinese.
With this kind of culture and art, this kind of food is boasted as a better ingredient in Southeast Asia. In 214, LonelyPlanet selected Penang as the best destination of specialty food in the world. The most amazing snacks in Malaysia are not in specialty restaurants, but thousands of stalls serving a specialty food-usually a family recipe handed down from generation to generation.
Penang has been one of the most popular destinations for foreigners in Malaysia for many years. It's not as lively as Kuala Lumpur, but it still has the comforts of home. From beach and shopping to special food and vibrant culture and art, everything is available. You can buy things in GurneyPlaza or QueensbayMall, and look for the same high-end shops as in the United States. You can walk through the forest, wander on the sparsely populated beaches, take part in food tours and cooking classes, and even drive for hours to visit the gorilla shelter.
Georgetown is a crowded and colorful UNESCO world cultural heritage city, and it is fascinating to walk through it. Its well-preserved colonial landscape architecture, the Chinese ancestral hall, is a vivid proof of daily life centuries ago. When you stroll through the temples in China and India, you can still feel its diversified cultural connotations and smell the burning incense in all the streets. Lost in the narrow street community and the mystery of the streets, you feel that you are in another world, a world that also existed long ago.
For a small island, there is no shortage of arts and culture. From the month-long Georgetown concert, we celebrated the plastic arts, jazz and world concerts and their film festivals in various unimaginable ways. Add all the festivals with inherent culture and religious beliefs, a large number of art galleries with ever-changing exhibits and street cultural scenes, and you will never be at a loss in Penang.
Everything I tried was definitely authentic from Hubei folks.
