Travel: PBC's Sitiawan 1D Trip

PBC's Sitiawan 1D Trip


Sitiawan is a small town in Perak, Malaysia. It is also known as "Little Fuzhou of West Malaysia". The population is predominantly Chinese, especially from Fuzhou. Most residents understand Fuzhou (Foochow) dialect, Hokkien dialect, Cantonese dialect, Mandarin, Malay, and English.

Sitiawan is mostly flat, with hills near the coastal town of Lumut. The majority of residents rely on agriculture, with rubber, oil palm, and mangoes being the main products. Aquaculture also contributes significantly, producing a considerable amount of chickens and freshwater fish and shrimp, making it one of Malaysia's major producers. Some residents also make a living from fishing; the cheap and fresh seafood has led to the emergence of many seafood restaurants, with Kampung Cina being particularly famous.

As early as 1903, a group of 363 people from Fuzhou, China, including 72 women and 55 children, landed at the port of Sitiawan, beginning the town's history of settlement.

Because Kampung Koh was the community center for the settlers, and the Methodist Church appointed Pastor Ling Cheng Mei, a Fuzhou native who led the Fuzhou settlers, established a church in Kampung Koh, which was also the social center at the time. The pastor was their leader, and any matters had to be handled by Pastor Ling at the pastor's house. Therefore, since everyone often said they wanted to go to the pastor's house, Kampung Koh was also known as the "Pastor's House".

实兆远 (Sitiawan) 是马来西亚霹雳州 (Perak) 的一个小镇。它也被称为“西马小福州”。这里以华人居多，尤其是福州人。这里的居民绝大部分都听得懂福州话，福建话，广东话，华语，马来语与英语。

实兆远一片平原，只有靠海的红土坎镇 (Lumut) 有少许小山。居民绝大部分以农业为生，橡胶、油棕与芒果是这里主要的生产。养殖业也贡献不少，这里生产不少肉鸡与淡水鱼虾，为马来西亚主要生产地之一。也有些居民以渔业为生，海鲜便宜且新鲜，因而出现了很多海鲜楼 (Seafood Restaurant)，以福清洋 (Kampung Cina) 为主，名闻遐迩。

早在1903年，一批为数共363名来自中国福州包括72名妇女及55名小童等在实兆远港口登陆后，便展开了实兆远的开垦史实。

由于甘文阁为开垦的社区中心，而率领福州人来开垦的美以美年议会委派的福州人牧师林称美是在甘文阁建立教会，而教会又是当时的社交活动中心，牧师是他们的头领，任何的事务处理都要到牧师楼去找林牧师办理，因此在大家经常表示要到牧师楼去的情况下，甘文阁的另一称号就是大家口中的“牧师楼”了。

Target Itinerary【目标行程】
    • Located at small town of Ayer Tawar, Perak, Malaysia. The museum was founded by Manjung (previously known as Dinding) Kutien Association, it is committed to restore and preserve the early Fuzhou settlement history and culture. Although there is also a famous "七条路(Cecil Street)" in Penang, but this special museum is actually located in Ayer Tawar, Perak.
    • 七条路 "Qi Tiao Lu" (literally "Seventh Road") is, simply put, the old name for Ayer Tawar. However, it is also important to note that "Qi Tiao Lu" serves as a historical symbol for the Chinese community in Dinding (the former name for Manjung) — including the Fuzhou and Xinghua dialect groups — who migrated south in the early days and pioneered the area, opening up a succession of roads ranging from "New Road" in Kampong Koh to "Second Road," "Third Road," and eventually "Seventh Road."
    • Key Highlights
      • Recreating the "Three Knives and Three Heads" History: The museum vividly displays the traditional tools that early Fuzhou settlers relied on for their livelihoods — specifically scissors, barbering razors, and kitchen knives, alongside hoes, axes, and the "human head" (symbolizing the arduous labor of the early pioneers) — offering a profound glimpse into the grassroots lives of our forebears.
      • Simulated Rubber Tapping Scene: The second floor features a realistic recreation of a rubber plantation and a processing shed, showcasing the vintage tools and historical photographs associated with the rubber-tapping activities of early pioneers.
      • Traditional Home Life and Wedding Customs: The museum faithfully reproduces the interior of a traditional Fuzhou "atap" (palm-thatch) house and displays artifacts related to historical wedding customs as well as the "Eight Treasures" of daily life.
    • Visitations are solely by appointment only, to book a time slot, please contact Mr. Ling (019-5582543) in advance.

    • 谈起“七条路”，说白了就是爱大华的旧名。但不得不提的是，“七条路”也是天定（曼绒的旧称）华社，包括福州及兴化籍贯族群早期南来从甘文阁新路、开辟二条路、三条路至七条路的历史象征。
    • 馆内核心看点
      • 还原“三刀三头”历史： 馆内生动展示了早期福州人赖以谋生的传统工具，即剪刀、理发刀、菜刀以及锄头、斧头、人头，深刻反映了先辈早年的基层生活面貌。
      • 模拟割胶场景： 二楼特别打造了逼真的模拟橡胶园与胶房，展示了先贤割胶时使用的古老器具与历史照片。
      • 传统家居与婚嫁习俗： 馆内完整复刻了当年福州人的亚答屋家居布置，并陈列了许多旧时的婚娶习俗物件与生活“八宝”。
    • 所有来访均需预约，如需预约，请联系林时兴先生(019-5582543) 。
