Travel

Penang is a world class UNESCO heritage city with plenty of attractions, things to do and travel activities to keep one engaged whether in George Town or exploring other parts of the the island located in northern part of Peninsular Malaysia. The following is a travel video list of things to do and attractions to consider when in Penang:

1.  Visit Kek Lok Si Supreme Temple of Bliss
   Located just 40 minutes away from the heart of George Town (take buses 201, 203 or 204) in Air Itam, this Buddhist Temple with Chinese influences is well worth exploring and best of all it’s absolutely free!
2. Wander around the Clan Jetties Stilt Villages
   These last Bastions of traditional Chinese settlement are a fascinating way to explore George Town on foot. Although some Jetties are quite commercial, if you wander on the outskirts you’ll find a much more authentic experience.
3. Get up early and eat Dim Sum while drinking Chinese Tea
4. Escape the chaos and head to the Botanical Gardens
   A leafy lush refuge from hectic George Town, the Botanical Gardens are a great place to seek shade and feel at one with nature. One will almost certainly encounter cheeky monkeys along the way.
5. George Town Waterfront Views
   Take the time to gaze and wander along George Town’s waterfront views. You will spot cruise ships, tankers, ferries, humble row boats and fishermen.
6. Explore Fort Cornwallis
   Explore Fort Cornwallis and its plethora of cannonballs.
7. Roam around Little India
   Little India is one of the most colourful and diverse enclaves found in George Town.
8. Wander Around George Town
   Few activities are more fascinating than taking a tour on foot around George Town’s historic colonial area.
