  1. No 4 you le yuan is definitely NOT a UNESCO heritage site. It was never inscribed. No single building, especially a ship house in Penang or Malaysia has ever been inscribed. There are 3 buildings in Penang that have won UNESCO awards, which is vastly different from being inscribed as a world heritage site. This is NOT one of the 3 either.

  2. Hi, I looked at the link for The Jazz Hotel Penang and it doesn’t show up on their list of available Hotels on the site. Is it open yet?
