Georgetown - Penang
 On Penang Island sits the capital, Georgetown, a city steeped in history and tradition yet sparkling with progress and modern development. Many cultural temples line the streets while certain areas are famous for their sale of antiques, artefacts, electronic goods, souvenirs and other commodities. The city area is well-connected through a link of roads, though some are one-way and narrow. Busy and fast-paced, Georgetown is a city that never sleeps, just like Kuala Lumpur.
Certain sections of Penang present a quaint picture from the past where narrow side streets, trishaws, temples and traders plying their goods, seem to belong to a forgotten era. Penang is a shopper's paradise for goods old and new, at bargain prices. |
