Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion

The Blue Mansion

Built in the 1890s, and restored in the 1990s (earning it a UNESCO award in 2000), this indigo-blue Chinese mansion was the main residence of Cheong Fatt Tze (called Zhang Bishi in China), known as the Rockefeller of the East and J.P. Morgan of China. The mansion was built according to feng shui principles by master craftsmen from China, who used their skills to fashion a sprawling mansion of 38 rooms, 5 granite-paved courtyards, 7 staircases and 220 windows. The mansion features in various films, including the 1993 Oscar-winning Indochine and the 2018 movie Crazy Rich Asians. Lodging is also available; see the sleep section.
