Thoughts: Most people know of 二奶巷 Concubine Lane which has a history of over 100 years. But there are the other 2 which are 大奶巷 Wife Lane and 三奶巷 3rd Wife Lane as well (all within the same area). These Concubine lanes were owned by a mining tycoon 姚德盛 Yao Tet Shin where after the fire tragedy in 1892, he rebuilt the shop houses and gave the houses of the lanes of each of his 3 wives; at least that was one version of the story. Of course, the other story was that these lanes were secret locations rich men kept their lovers away from their wife's knowledge!
大奶巷 Wife Lane and 三奶巷 3rd Wife Lane both at Lorong Hale and Market Lane respectively, are not that famous and perhaps unknown to tourist. 二奶巷 Concubine Lane is said to be the most "transformed lane" among the three lanes, its a famous tourist destination (right across the street from 天津茶室 Thean Chun coffee shop). Entrance from Jalan Bandar Timah and exit the lane to Jalan Bijeh Timah, only about 80 meters long.
If you come early before the street vendors open their store, you can still see the charm of these old colonial architectures; some are abandoned with only facades at the entrance. There is a certain charm as well and spookiness very early in the morning!
