Penang, a colorful gem left behind by time on the sea, is half Eastern fireworks and half British silhouette. The old houses of George Town, like the wrinkles on a palm, tell the century-old migration stories of the Chinese in Southeast Asia. A mural on the street corner evokes a dream of childhood. Spices dance in the air, and from Nyonya kuih to curry fish head, your taste buds embark on a journey through multiple universes. At night, the breeze on Penang Hill gently whispers tales of Malay romance, and under the starry sky, you can hear the murmurs of multicultural coexistence. Penang is not merely a collection of diverse landscapes; it is a living, breathing painting—where the unfinished longing of the past quietly converses with the future. On this island, travelers seek not the attractions marked on maps, but a long-lost sense of peace.

Penang's Fort Cornwallis in Malaysia stands as a silent hill of stone, quietly watching over the meeting point of sea breeze and history. The ancient cannons still point towards the horizon, not as symbols of force, but as a gaze into the passage of time. The weathered stone walls, marked with moss, resemble the handwritten signature of time itself. Climbing to the summit, the vast expanse of sea and sky opens the heart, while looking back, the winding stone path seems to lead you into a dialogue between colonial history and local resilience. This is not a war relic, but a theater of memories, narrating the island's dreams and indomitable spirit in serene whispers.

📅 Itinerary Day 1: ✈️ Don Mueang-Hat Yai 🚞 Hat Yai-Padang Besar 🚈 padang besar - butterworth ⛴️ butterworth - penang Check-in at the accommodation at around 4 pm. We went out to walk around George Town, took pictures, and looked for something to eat. The atmosphere was great, not tiring to walk at all. When it got dark, we went to a chill-out bar, the pokok - all day bar, with live music in the evening. You must come here to drink Tiger beer. It tastes good and is fun to eat. But don't order fried chicken. We got fried chicken with sour sauce, which my friend and I don't like. The whole alley near this shop is a bar and a bar. When we left the first shop, we found another one near 7-Eleven. The beer promotion was cheaper. The shop's name is Love Lane. In conclusion, I made a lot of new friends on the first day. The people here are very friendly. I mostly met Indians who are from Penang. Day 2: Because I was very drunk last night Today, I woke up late but our goal was to go to Penang Hill only, so it was so chill. - In the morning, we went to eat breakfast at a popular place, Toh Soon Cafe. When we arrived, there was a very long queue, but the queue was very fast. We got a table in less than 10 minutes. We waited for the food for a short while and we could eat. The food was very delicious. I recommend it. - After eating, we called Grab to Penang Hill. We arrived around noon. The view was very beautiful. There were a lot of people, but it was not crowded and we did not compete to take pictures. When getting on, I recommend sitting at the back of the train because the view is really beautiful. Thank you to the kind Thai people who sent us the clip because we could not squeeze in to take pictures with the Chinese family. - We stopped to eat at the food court first and then walked to take pictures at Chew Jetty. - We walked around and took pictures in George Town, collecting the things we did not finish yesterday. - We stopped by CHAGEE Cafe near Kimberly Street. - We called Grab to Gurney Mall to eat Llao Llao ice cream. In the evening, we went back to the accommodation where we left our bags because tonight we will travel to KL by bus. The accommodation was very kind and let us take a shower. And sit and wait for the time 🚎 We booked a bus through the app at midnight, but the bus was late and the last bus was at 1 am. It was the last bus. I was a bit disappointed because I was tired all day. And there were not enough seats in the terminal. But when I got on the bus, it was great. The seats were wider than in our country. But the air conditioner was a bit cold. You have to prepare a good set of clothes to cover yourself. We arrived in KL at around 5 am when the sky was not yet bright. 🏨 The 60 accommodation: It is located on the road near Chew Jetty. We stayed in a room for 3 people, 1 double bed, 1 single bed, with an ensuite bathroom. We got a room with a sea view. It was very beautiful. The room was spacious and clean. The staff was very good and friendly. 🍴 Restaurants 1. I recommend the Jetty food court. It is opposite Chew Jetty. We stayed for 2 days and ate here both days because the food was delicious and there was a lot to choose from. 2. Toh Soon Cafe: A breakfast restaurant. Various breads and buns are really delicious. 3. Various bars: When you arrive, I would like you to come and try Tiger beer and the atmosphere at night. Talk to people here. We had a lot of fun. And it really made us love this trip ❤️ #PenangTravel #TravelWithFriends #Penang #Malaysia

I saw a great fire dance performance in Penang Right at Batu Ferringhi Beach Originally I just planned to go to the beach to find a beach club to watch the sunset. I didn't know until 7:30 Batu Ferringhi Beach has fire dance performances every night. Several restaurants/Beach Clubs can be seen on the beach. Even if you don't spend any money, you can still watch free performances just by sitting on the beach! (However, we still encourage everyone to buy a drink and a snack at the restaurant to support it) We were watching a show at Ferringhi Heart Beach Club Every night it starts around 7:30 and 9 or 9:30 The whole performance is about 45 minutes Looks super good! Be sure to watch till the end There’s more to come after the tipping session! The final fire dance with music is really touching🥺 I didn’t expect to see such a wonderful performance in Penang😍 If you come to Penang, you must go and see it. PS After the show, there are a lot of people and cars. If you want to take Grab, it is recommended that you walk to the main road near Helena restaurant and call a car. It will be easier to get on the car. 📍Batu Ferringhi Beach #globaltravel #penang #penangtravel #malaysia

I went to Penang during the holidays. I originally planned to go to Malaysia to eat some street food and relax. But I unexpectedly discovered that Penang Citywalk is also very artistic and beautiful😍 Let’s share a one-day tour of Penang first (1) 📍Chew Jetty Take Grab from the hotel to the Xingzhou Bridge, a must-see for every tourist (There are also bridges with surnames like Li and Lin next to them) Walk along the century-old wooden boardwalk and buy some Malaysian souvenirs About 30 minutes is enough 📍Armenian Street Next, go to Penang Art Street You will come to the famous "Sister and Brother Riding Together" mural. This time when I came to Penang, I found that there were many new iron art murals in George Town. Each one has a story, so cute😍 There is also an umbrella alley on Armenian Street, which is great for checking in. 📍Queen Victoria Memorial Clock Tower Walking towards the beach, you will pass by "Little India". Walk another 5-8 minutes and you will see an area full of European-style buildings (Bank Street) The pure European clock tower is also a very good subject for photography. 📍Penang City Hall Walking north along the coast, you will see the pure white European-style building Penang City Hall The elegant and beautiful building is worth a visit. If you have time, you can also watch the sunset at the beach and end a relaxing day. #globaltravel #penang #penangtravel #malaysia

#georgetowntrip #OneDayInGeorgeTown #LebuhKimberley #Komtar #ArmenianStreet #PenangStreetArt #ChinaHousePenang #EsplanadePenang #NormMicroRoastery #BeachStreetPenang #ChewJetty #姓周桥 #GeorgeTownPenang #PenangHeritage #PenangCafes #PenangVibes George Town isn’t just a place — it’s a feeling. A walkable city where heritage and hip blend effortlessly, where the scent of local food dances through the air, and every street has a story to tell. 7:30 AM – Dim Sum at Lebuh Kimberley The day kicked off with breakfast at Lebuh Kimberley, where locals queue for old-school dim sum. Siew mai, har gao, and fluffy char siew bao arrived steaming hot — washed down with strong local kopi. The lively atmosphere was the perfect introduction to the morning buzz of George Town. 9:00 AM – Morning Stroll Around Komtar & Local Market Vibes The old heart of George Town’s modern development. Just nearby, I stumbled into a traditional morning market, where aunties bargained for fresh vegetables, hawkers shouted out breakfast specials, and the scent of fried noodles filled the air. The scene was lively and authentic — a beautiful snapshot of everyday Penang life. 10:30 AM – Mural Hunt in Armenian Street Next, I took a short walk toward Armenian Street to dive into the city’s famous street art. The highlight was definitely the “Children on a Bicycle” mural. 12:00 PM – Lunch & Cake at China House I stopped for lunch at the ever-iconic China House, known for its heritage layout and long list of decadent cakes. After a light meal, I treated myself to a slice of their famous tiramisu — easily one of the best I’ve had. 2:00 PM – Seaside Views at the Esplanade With a full stomach, I headed to the Esplanade (Padang Kota Lama) for a breezy stroll by the sea. Colonial buildings like City Hall and the Clock Tower made a stunning backdrop, while the sea breeze offered a refreshing break from the midday sun. 3:30 PM – Coffee & Calm at Norm Micro Roastery When the heat picked up, I ducked into Norm Micro Roastery — an aesthetic café hidden behind a minimalist entrance. With its high ceilings, soft lighting, and indoor greenery, it felt like a retreat from the city. I ordered a hand-brewed coffee and sat back for a well-earned break. 4:30 PM – Wandering Around Beach Street After coffee, I explored Beach Street, lined with grand colonial buildings, restored shophouses, and cool boutiques. The late afternoon light lit up the architecture beautifully. 5:30 PM – Sunset Stop at Chew Jetty (姓周桥) I ended my route here where time slows down on wooden boardwalks above the sea. Locals relaxed outside their homes, cats stretched in the fading sun, and the horizon glowed with that unmistakable Penang sunset. George Town, even in just a day, leaves an impression that lingers. Whether it’s the clatter of a dim sum tray, the brushstrokes of a mural, or the stillness of a seaside jetty — it all stays with you. I came for the food and history, but I left with much more.

#georgetowntrip 📍Address: P.66 66, Lebuh Campbell, George Town, 10100 George Town, Pulau Pinang, 马来西亚 A Hidden Gem in Penang – My P.66 Stationery Café Experience While wandering around George Town, Penang recently, I stumbled upon a charming little spot that totally caught me by surprise — P.66. Tucked away behind what looks like just a minimalist stationery store on Lebuh Campbell, this place is actually a beautiful blend of a Muji-style boutique and a cozy café. The vibe inside is immaculate — think clean white walls, warm wood accents, soft lighting, and calming background music. It’s the kind of space that makes you want to slow down, take a deep breath, and just be. The stationery selection is also a dream for journaling lovers — imported notebooks, premium pens, and all sorts of curated lifestyle items. What I loved most about P.66 is how it blends creativity and calm. Whether you’re a stationery nerd, a coffee enthusiast, or just looking for a quiet spot to recharge, this little hideout hits all the right notes. Definitely a place I’ll return to next time I’m in Penang. 🤎 #penang #cafe #travel #myitinerary #citydaytours

(Psst—it’s **Air Itam Dam**, not *damn* 😉—but we get the love!) Just a short drive from Kek Lok Si Temple, this serene reservoir is a Penangite favorite for nature escapes. Built in 1962, it’s more than a water source—it’s where lush hills hug calm waters, creating a postcard-perfect retreat. **Why Locals Adore It 💚** For Penangites, the dam is a quiet antidote to city chaos. Morning joggers pace the shaded trails 🏃♂️🌳, families picnic by the water, and shutterbugs snap the mirror-like reflections of rainforest-clad peaks. The air here is crisper, the vibe slower—a reminder of Penang’s untamed beauty. **Secret Spot Alert!** Head to the **viewing platform** for a panoramic glimpse of the dam framed by jungle. It’s Insta-gold at sunrise or sunset, when the sky paints the water in pinks and oranges. 🌅📸 **Connect the Dots 🔄** Pair your Kek Lok Si visit with a dam detour! After temple crowds, unwind here with a *kopi-O* from a roadside stall ☕, or grab *Air Itam laksa* nearby (spicy, tangy, legendary! 🍜). Pro tip: Weekdays = fewer people! **Penangite Truth** ❤️ The dam isn’t just a backdrop—it’s part of our daily rhythm. We hike here to breathe, reflect, or simply *lepak* (chill) with friends. For us, it’s harmony: ancient temples and wild waters, side by side.

For those who visit Penang, we recommend you to visit 📍Penang Hill, another highlight of Penang. The steep mountain range, take the electric tram up to the viewpoint, it only takes a short ride. 👉🏻 According to the review, it says to be in front to see the view. The chance to take a beautiful photo is for those at the front of the line only. If you don't get in front, don't be sad. You can stand and take photos from there. It's just as beautiful. When we went, there were quite a few people. We went late, but it seemed like there were fewer people in the evening. Their nature is beautiful. The air up there is quite cool. There are many types of flowers and trees. The 360-degree view of the city is very beautiful. If you don't like walking, there are many places to rest. You can take a bus to Penang. If it's more convenient, take a Grab. I want everyone to try to see their city from a high angle. It's very beautiful. #tripfreeaccommodation #Penang #PenangMalaysia #PenangTravel #PenangHill #Malaysia #PenangTravelByYourself

See the nature, Feel the history. Located at the highest point in Penang, Penang Hill, also known as Bukit Bendera, is a must-visit for first-time visitors. Due to its elevated position, taking the cable car to the top offers a panoramic view of George Town and the mainland Butterworth. It is not only a natural spot for hiking but also a popular dating spot for couples. Malaysia was once a British colony, and due to its high altitude and beautiful scenery, Penang Hill became a place where the British built their villas. To facilitate travel up and down the hill, a cable car was constructed, which now serves as Penang's backyard, rich in ecological diversity. A round-trip cable car ticket costs 30 MYR, approximately 320 TWD. It is recommended to spend a bit more on a fast pass to avoid long queues both up and down the hill. This extra expense is worth it to save time. Upon reaching the summit, you will find a strong commercial presence with love locks, heart-shaped photo spots, and numerous restaurants and cafes. While it may feel a bit touristy, there are plenty of places to rest and grab a bite if you get hungry or thirsty. At the top, there is a vibrant Hindu temple dedicated to the war god Murugan, who is depicted holding a spear. There is also a Muslim mosque and the Gate House Bel Retiro, the former governor's residence, all remnants of the British colonial period. Penang Hill also features an eco-park that requires an additional fee. It includes a pristine rainforest ecosystem, a forest canopy walk, a giant swing, and a circular skywalk. There are plenty of attractions, making it a great spot for family outings.

#2月好去地方2025 On July 7, 2008, George Town in Penang, Malaysia was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Now, almost 17 years after its inclusion in the World Heritage List, we take a closer look at how this old port city became a world-renowned cultural heritage. The rise of George Town is related to its historical background as an important trading port on the East-West Waterway in the 19th century. The booming economy and post-war rent controls on old buildings have allowed George Town to retain the largest collection of historic buildings in Malaysia today, and has given rise to a diverse and complex ethnic structure, cultural practices and spatial landscapes. The entrance to the UNESCO site is Armenian Street. At its intersection with Cannon Street, you can see the iconic pagoda-style minaret of Acheen Street Mosque, while on the other side is the famous clan temple Longshan Tang Qiu Gongsi hidden behind the street houses, and the former secret society base Po Fook She Fuk Clan Temple. On the other side is the Tzu Chi Temple and Ye Clan Temple on Datongzai Street (also Armenian Street). The street is filled with centuries-old monuments and new buildings, traditional culture and emerging industries. It's really worth selling!

#2月好地方2025 In 2018, the Diocese of Penang unveiled a new milestone – the establishment of a new Catholic Museum. The museum is located on Jalan Huat Gai in Penang, right next to the Catholic Church of the Assumption, one of the world cultural heritage sites. The review of Catholic history in Malaya begins with the publication of the papal bull by Pope Alexander VI, which is a map of the Pontifical Meridian. Later, the Portuguese conquered Malacca, and Catholic churches began to be born in Malaya. Later, the Dutch and British dominated their colonies in Asia, and members of the Paris Foreign Missions Society began to actively preach in Malaya. These historical deeds and Catholic-related items with a history as far back as 100 years. Each of these is recorded in the museum, delicately presenting the evolution of the church in the Penang Diocese. The museum is not large, but it exhibits a series of precious relics from the former site of the monastery, while also depicting the ups and downs of the Catholic Church in Islamic countries over the past two hundred years.
