Armenian Street

#summervacay Explore Armenian Street (Lebuh Armenian) in historic George Town, Penang—a vibrant, heritage-rich lane celebrated for its legendary street art, preserved shophouses, and cultural landmarks. Laid out in 1808, Armenian Street was originally named Malay Lane, reflecting early Malay settlement. As Armenian merchants arrived in the 19th century, the street was renamed—though most of the Armenian community had departed by the 1930s. One of the most pivotal moments on this street was the Sun Yat‑Sen conference in 1910, where revolutionary funds were raised to oppose the Qing Dynasty. That historic residence now houses the Sun Yat‑Sen Museum . #travel #couplestrip
