From the vibrant and cultural waterfront of Georgetown to the unspoiled countryside of Penang, journey around the island's many sights and attractions.
Visit the Thai Buddhist Temple — renowned for housing one of the largest reclining Buddhas in the world and for its intricate Thai architecture. It's a peaceful oasis for contemplation.
A leisurely scenic panoramic drive toward the north end of the island passes through lush landscapes, charming fishing villages, and the beautiful coves and bays of Batu Ferringhi.
At the Craft Batik Workshop, watch a demonstration of the intricate and timeless art of printing cloth with wax and dyes. If you're inspired, purchase a souvenir.
Scents of clove and nutmeg follow you on a drive through the hills. Pause at a local fruit and spice stall to learn about fresh local produce.
Open countryside with tranquil Malay villages accompanies you to the southern tip of the island. View the Penang Bridge — the iconic engineering marvel that spans the Penang Strait. Snap some photos here.
Stretch your legs and head to the majestic Khoo Kongsi. This is the most beautiful Chinese Clan House ever built outside of China. Its intricate wood and granite carvings, together with 24 elaborate stone carvings, classic examples of filial piety, make this a must-see for visitors to Penang.
