Welcome to Penang

Penang has so much to see that a visitor will never get enough of time to see all of what she has to offer. So if you coming in to Penang for the first time the best place to start is in George Town itself, which is given the status of the World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Stepping into this unique enclave, you feel as if you were stepping back into time. George Town has many old charming but elegant mixed colonial building, temple, mosques, churches and even rows of pre-war shop houses with some hidden in old fashion nook and cranny of alleys and narrow streets. Walking into these hidden quaintly streets like Muntri Street, Love Lane, Armenian Street and Acheeh Street is like walking in a time tunnel of nostalgic nineteen century scenery especially with its faded and peeling paint and crumbling walls.

In June 2016, Lonely Planet named Ipoh as the 6th best place to visit in Asia

Pinang Peranakan Mansion

So how does one start to explore such wide area of classical mixed pot puree culture of this place? The best is put on your most comfortable walking shoes or use the service of local three wheel trishaw, commonly known by the local as “beca”. Within this enclave visitors will able to see, the Pinang Peranakan Mansion ( Baba Nyonya Museum), a typical home of a rich Peranakan from a century ago is recreated to offer visitors a glimpse into their opulent lifestyle, Kapitan Keling Mosque, founded in 1801 with a distinct Moghul architectural look, Yap Kongsi and its surrounding where “Anna & the King” movie was shot, Leong San Tong (Dragon Hall) of Khoo Kongsi the most picturesque temple in Penang, the Sri Mariamman Temple (Hindu Temple), impressive Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion (known as the “Blue Mansion” due to its indigo blue walls) and Church of Assumption.

Little India

During Chinese New Year this place is lighted up in the night with thousands of light bulbs which turn the place into a fairyland. In the temple itself is a magnificent seven storey Pagoda which is a harmonise mix of Chinese, Thai and Burmese architecture and craftsmanship.
