This unique experience invites you to encounter and capture the typical life of the Penang folks as you cruise the colorful streets of Chinatown and Little India in your very own trishaw! This unhurried ride on a trishaw, commonly referred to as the "King of the Road" is an experience not to be missed. Stop and inspect the majestic Khoo Kongsi Chinese Clan House-- reputedly the most beautiful outside China. Its intricate wood and granite carvings and 24 stone carvings make this a must-visit place. Continue your journey to view the architectural splendor of Penang's yesteryear. The Penang Museum and Art Gallery is housed in the remains of the original Penang Free School. Built in 1821, the museum houses a fine collection of old photographs, maps, charts and other historical relics. Travel on to Leith Street, where you will catch a glimpse of the Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion. Stop for tea and refreshments at the nostalgic Eastern & Oriental Hotel built in 1885. Your journey back to the port is dotted with many colonial relics, and it's easy to imagine life in the early days when Malaysia was a British colony. You will have experienced true insight into the architectural design of Georgetown that has not lost its charm or character.
