A century-old Chinese shophouse on Armenian Street, where Sun Yat-sen held the Penang Conference in 1910 to plan the Huanghuagang Uprising. Now a museum.
The Sun Yat-sen Penang Base is at 120 Lebuh Armenian and is a traditional Chinese shophouse from the late 19th century. It was once the Southeast Asian headquarters of the Tongmenghui. In 1910, Sun Yat-sen held the “Penang Conference” here to plan the Huanghuagang Uprising in Guangzhou the following year. The museum preserves its courtyards, woodcarved screens and antique furniture, and displays photos and materials about Sun Yat-sen's activities in Southeast Asia. Guided tours are available. Admission is about RM5 to RM10. Allow about 40 minutes. It is on Mural Street and can easily be visited along the way.
