Penang

In 2008, George Town was awarded the UNESCO World Heritage Site listing. This maritime-trading city was developed during the colonial era and is older than most cities in Malaysia. As a result, it has retained a unique cityscape and multicultural heritage.

George Town represents an exceptional example of a multicultural trading town in East and Southeast Asia. It is a living testimony to the multi-cultural heritage and tradition of Asia and European colonial influences. A mixture of unique architecture, culture and townscape was also created without parallel anywhere in East and South Asia.

Why people need to come to Pulau Penang or Penang?

Penang is a state that has two sectors - Penang Island and Seberang Perai - both connected by the Penang Bridge. Among these sections, Penang Island is comparatively huge and has a diverse topography which makes it appealing to tourists.

George Town, in particular, is popular for its colonial-era architecture fused to Asian charms. Tagged as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the city embraces modernism while keeping alive its cultural heritage. The unique street arts on the paint-peeled walls of George Town are something you won't witness anywhere else in Malaysia. George Town is the ideal spot for those who are spending only one day in Penang.
