乔治市入遗四周年 穿街走巷看古迹
二零一二年七月十日 上午十一时二十五分
报道、摄影：陈秀丽姐姐
今年7月7日，是槟城乔治市被联合国教科文组织列入 “文化遗产”世界遗产名录的第四年。因此，《大红花》特别带大家去乔治市古迹区走走看看。
小朋友们，你准备好了吗？我们一起到乔治市的古迹区穿街走巷寻古宝吧！
由乔治市世遗机构主办的“古迹探索互动游”，邀请了19名汉民小学的学生，以徒步游览的方式到古迹区探索，发掘古迹建筑文化，三大族群的传统禁忌和信仰，途经打铜仔街、大铳巷及打石街。
志愿导游黄僡丝还通过小游戏，向学生先讲解什么是古迹区。这项活动主要是让学生亲身体验乔治市的多元文化，和了解早期到槟城生活的移居者，从古至今为这座城市塑造的历史，还有留下来的文化遗产，让学生发自内心的珍惜这座古城。
一路上，黄僡丝细心地向同学讲解沿途上的各种古迹建筑构造和各族的传统文化，甚至是不同种族住家的特点，包括家门前的装饰，所种的植物等。19名学生被分成三组进行寻宝式的游戏。
访问志愿导游黄僡丝
导游黄惠丝说，“很多父母都忽略了孩子对文化和古迹的认知，甚至有学生不懂得各族的风俗习惯，也没到过各宗教的膜拜场所。”
她说，要保留这种社会和历史价值，就必须让学生身历其境，用实际的方式提升他们对社会、宗教和文化的认识与尊敬。这是一个“与学生互动”的活动，通过小学生的有趣提问和回答，他们可以学到更多。
参后感
梁荣亨（五年级）：“古迹探索活动很好玩，学到很多课堂上没有教的东西，录入各族膜拜方式和古迹建筑构造的意义。”
王启树（五年级）：“首次参加古迹游，学到以前槟城人的生活方式和历史、文化，感觉很新鲜，希望可以再次和家人到此游玩。”
俞起佑（五年级）：“虽然走到很累，但是可以从中得知各族文化和风俗习惯，完成任务，感觉很开心、很有成就感。”
新闻背景
马六甲与槟城乔治市，都有很大的共同点，同时马来西亚现存的最老古城，尤其是至今所保留着的生活文化（Living Culture），于2008年7月7日被联合国教科文组织列入"文化遗产"的世界遗产名录内。
马六甲，有古城之称。动荡年代中，葡萄牙、荷兰和英国先后占领过，曾是一个兴盛的商贸中心和繁荣的港口，吸引来自中国、印度、阿拉伯等各地的商人前来，因此留下了独特的建筑古迹和文化特色，如峇峇与娘惹。
乔治市，素有东方花园的美誉，曾是一个港口贸易区，曾是英殖民地，也因此吸引了来自各地的商人前往经商并定居。
这段历史为两座城市留下了重要的古迹遗产、多元种族文化和习俗，及各种文化融合的城市景观。
