Fan Bingbing, one of China’s most famous actresses, recently explored several iconic attractions in Malaysia’s Kedah state, including Alor Setar Tower, Zahir Mosque, and Pekan Cina (Chinatown).

Fan shared photos of herself wearing a head covering while visiting the Zahir Mosque in Kedah on Monday.

Located in Alor Setar, the capital of Kedah, the mosque is one of Malaysia’s grandest and oldest. Built in 1912, it was constructed on the site of a tomb of a fallen Kedah warrior who died during the Siamese invasion of Kedah.

“After filming for so long, we finally had the chance to take a stroll. While enjoying some delicious food, we also visited Kedah’s iconic attractions: the Kedah Royal Museum, Alor Setar Tower, Zahir Mosque, and Pekan Cina (Chinatown),” Fan wrote on Instagram.

She also visited Alor Setar Tower, a four-story telecommunications tower that was once the third-tallest in Malaysia, and Pekan Cina, the city’s Chinatown area.

In June, Fan toured Melaka state, where she serves as a tourism ambassador, a role aimed at helping Malaysian authorities attract one million Chinese visitors to the state this year.

In 2017, Time magazine listed Fan among the world’s 100 most influential people.
