PULAU PINANG MALAYSIA

PULAU PINANG

MALAYSIA

Pulau Pinang or Peneng Island has been the center of trade water roads since the 15^th century. Many seafarers have visited Pulau Pinang during their voyages but it is not until 1786, when Francis Light landed on the island, that its modern history begins. The development was quick and much of the old architecture is preserved till today. There is a mixture of styles and cultures, Chinese being predominant and old British colonial still in force, followed by Malaysian.

The skyline of Pulau Pinang is impressive, so is the city itself, full of history and yet unspoiled beauty of nature.  

Pulau Pinang has 2 bridges now. They make access easier and less traffic congested. There is still a ferry access which is the most relaxed trip to the island from Peninsula Malaysia.

Pulau Pinang preserves the culture and cuisine of its multiracial society. 

Exploration of culinary delights is a favorite pastime of many visitors. Shopping is on par with Paris or London.

A night “on town” will never disappoint in George Town or anywhere in Penang and its beach resorts.
