Aun Tong House, Taiping (31 August, 2015)
Aun Tong House (GPS: 4.85482, 100.73276) is a historic building in
Taiping,
Perak. It is located off Regat Muzaffar Shah, in Assam Kumbang, just next to the Antong Coffee Factory. The house's claim to fame is that it was where
Chen Cuifen and
Dr Sun Yat Sen had stayed when they were in Taiping.
Aun Tong House is a ku3kha3lau2, meaning the living quarters is raised from the ground. There is a short flight of stairs up the entrance. You will find a statue of Dr Sun Yat Sen there. Nowadays, you can enter the house from the rear, where Antong Coffee Factory has its visitor centre. Aun Tong House holds various memorabilia connected to Sun Yat Sen. On the walls are newspaper clippings and Chinese calligraphy, as well as numerous photos of Dr Sun and Chen Cuifen.
