Komtar is a famous landmark building in George City, Penang, Malaysia. It is named after "**Penang**" and "**Everbright**" (**Kompleks Tun Abdul Razak**), and is one of the main commercial and administrative centers in Penang. The design of the building is a combination of commercial, retail, office and government uses. It was originally built in 1974 and completed in 1986, with a height of about 249 meters. With 65 floors, it was one of the tallest buildings in Southeast Asia at the time. In recent years, Komtar has undergone several renovations and renovations, including the addition of a glass corridor (The Rainbow Skywalk), where visitors can overlook the beautiful scenery of George City at high altitude. This building is not only an important landmark in Penang, It is also a frequent destination for locals and tourists.
There were so many people at the cable car on Penang Hill that we could only go to the top to see the view. There are many activities in Guangda. Adults only need to go to the top floor, and children can play below. It would be great if there were professionals 📷, and they would definitely be able to take beautiful scenery photos.

5 attractions in 1 for this price was super worth it! Quite fun and it's mostly indoors so great for Penang weather
The process of ticket redemption was very smooth and easy. My kids had a wonderful time, and the best part is that the ticket I purchased via Trip.com is significantly cheaper and offers great value.

A must-visit in Penang, it has a very unique feel and is very photogenic. There are many shops run by Chinese people, and you can communicate in Chinese and simple English. It is very comfortable to find a coffee shop for a smoothie on a hot day. There is a good Hainanese chicken rice nearby, which is not expensive and tastes amazing.
Malaysia🇲🇾Penang【George Town Street Art】
Mirror Georgetown
There are many murals scattered on the streets of Georgetown, which is one of the reasons why many people come to Penang for tourism. It is the latest tourist attraction in Georgetown. Most of these murals were created by Ernas, a 25-year-old artist from Lithuania, for the Georgetown Festival. Later, more painters participated.
Address: 316, Beach St, Georgetown, 10300 George Town, Penang, Malaysia
The murals are scattered, so it is recommended to rent a bicycle or take a rickshaw to visit.
The real area of the art street is actually not large, just two streets, which is also the area where tourists are most concentrated.

A must visit if you’re are in Penang, fantastic one and zombies part looks so realistic.
You will go into the Ghost Museum with a smile and come out crying. The brave ones can try it. It is very realistic. Although there are no NPCs to scare you, the scene is still quite scary. Children may be scared, but timid adults can challenge themselves.

enjoy it a lot as we can take lots of photos with the food we like and know more about food history in Penang and Malaysia . if u like eating, u will definitely have fun there
Food Rage Hall wonderfood museum is on the street next to Little India. It is very easy to find with Google maps. It was originally a summer escape. After entering, it was unexpectedly found to be very fun. There is a detailed introduction to Nyonya's food culture. Various dishes are made into a realistic model enlarged version, shocking and novel. Various food details have been made. It can be seen that there are food models that have spent a lot of thought. There are also large dessert areas for children to take pictures. In addition to "food", there are also thoughts on environmental protection. A curtain says: Who is the biggest enemy of sharks? After the curtain is opened, there is a mirror.

Malaysia🇲🇾Penang【Clan Jetties Of Penang】
Clan Jetties Of Penang
Most of these bridges were built in the late 19th century. In the past, when the Chinese came to Penang, they made a living by the sea, built bridges and built houses on them. Because people with the same surname lived on the same bridge, it was called the Clan Jetties.
The so-called "bridge" is not a bridge, but a wooden house built on the sea. The Clan Jetties are like several small villages, with a strong kampung style.
Transportation: Take the free bus CAT in the city and get off at Weld Quay Station
Tickets: Free
This Jetties very popular and all visit penang will go to take a look how the local fishermen stay and work at penang. Their house also very unique and all above the seawater.

If you enjoy quirky, interactive experiences, the Penang 3D Trick Art Museum is worth a visit. It’s especially fun for families and groups who love taking creative photos. However, if you prefer more immersive or high-tech attractions, you might find it a bit basic.📌 Rating: 3.5/5 ⭐🎟 Recommended for: Families, couples, and anyone who loves taking fun pictures!
Spent about 1 hour here. It can be abit chaotic when it’s crowded because others may block or obstruct your photo taking view/angle.

Sun Yat Sen Museum, Penang, offers a unique glimpse into heritage Peranakan architecture and décor that is at once breathtaking and visually arresting.
【Penang Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall】
Located in Georgetown, it is not very big and not very conspicuous, but it is worth a visit and understanding.
Although it is a niche attraction with few people, you can learn about Mr. Sun Yat-sen's roundabout journey to save the country.
I especially like the postscript of the war in the memorial hall, "You can forgive, but you can't forget"!
