華蓋街大教堂

華蓋街 （Farquhar Street）是檳城George Town最古老的街道之一，始建於1804年，以路兩旁的英國統治時期所建造的殖民建築而聞名。而位於華蓋街3號的華蓋街大教堂Church of the Assumption，中文名字亦叫「聖母升天堂」，建於1786年，是馬來西亞第三古老的天主教堂。全白色的教堂充滿異國風情，兩座對稱的鐘樓猶如巴黎聖母院的設計。

華盍街大教堂遠沒有聖喬治教堂漂亮，這裏禁止拍照，可以免費進入，但可能會要求捐贈。旁邊的建築還設有檳城天主教教區博物館，這是一個由當地牧師策劃的精彩展覽。

Huagai Street Cathedral is a product of colonial period, Gothic style of architecture, built near the sea, this whole white church, beautiful appearance, because there are many similar styles of architecture, the church is near Georgetown.

The church is very close to the hotel we stayed in, just at the entrance of Love Lane. There was no one passing by. A sweeper inside greeted us to enter. Entering the hall, there are two white statues of celestial beings in the doorway. They have plates in their hands. They are convenient for Christians to do good deeds. The hall is very quiet, the white environment is very elegant, when there is a big pipe organ on the door. The only disadvantage is that when one side of the exterior building is damaged, it affects the visual effect, which is a little regrettable.

The ancient church is one of several colonial buildings in the sea area of Penang. The Gothic elegant appearance, solemn and quiet, accompanied by the coconut wind and sea shadow is extremely beautiful.

The cathedral was founded by Father Cano in 1786 and moved from Church Street to Huaxue Street in 1857. Today's church buildings are built by Father Manisu.

Huaxue Street Cathedral is a small white Protestant church opposite Guangming Street on the basis of St. George's Cathedral. Founded by Sir Francis, the same people who founded Cornwallisburg in Penang, the walls of the church embedded history. There are two bell towers, an altar and a pipe organ.
