Trip to Penang, Malaysia 🇲🇾

It was a trip to Penang, Malaysia 🇲🇾We kicked off our trip in Penang by exploring the vibrant streets of George Town 😍 The heritage area is filled with colorful street art, and we found it to be a photographer’s paradise 🙌 The street art here tells stories of the city’s past and offers some of the most Instagram-worthy shots. Be sure to visit the famous murals like “Children on a Bicycle” 🚲 by Ernest Zacharevic. Afterward, we wandered down to the Clan Jetties, a unique spot where wooden houses are built over the water. The sunset views over the jetties are simply stunning 💯 📍George Town, Penang We visited the Pinang Peranakan Mansion, a well-preserved heritage building that gives you a glimpse into the opulent life of the Peranakan Chinese community 👌 The intricate decorations and antique furniture make for amazing photographs 📸 We’d recommend visiting in the late morning when the light is bright, giving the interior rich detail in photos 🙌 📍29 Church Street, George Town, Penang 10200 We then took a trip to Kek Lok Si, the largest Buddhist temple in Malaysia. The temple’s architecture, colorful statues, and panoramic views of Penang make for incredible photo opportunities 📸 The Seven-Tier Pagoda and the massive statue of the Goddess of Mercy are must-captures 🙌 We recommend going early in the morning or late in the afternoon for soft lighting and fewer visitor ✨ 📍1000, Lintang Tokong, Ayer Itam, Penang 11500 We also made our way up to Penang Hill. The views from the top are breathtaking, with a panoramic view of the island 🏝️ and the city below. The funicular train 🚆 ride to the top was a highlight, offering plenty of opportunities for photos 📸 of the lush greenery. We suggest visiting in the late afternoon to catch the sunset and enjoy the cooler evening breeze 😍 📍Penang Hill Railway, 11500 Bukit Bendera, Penang We then visited Batu Ferringhi Beach 🏝️ The beach is peaceful and the perfect spot for a laid-back day. The long stretch of sand and clear waters make for great photos 📸 and the golden hour around sunset 🌇 here is spectacular. We’d recommend grabbing some local food from the nearby hawker stalls after a swim or stroll along the beach 🏝️ 📍Batu Ferringhi Beach, Penang Penang is a vibrant blend of cultures, history, and natural beauty, and it’s a place where every corner offers something unique to photograph 🙌🙌🙌 #japantrip #vacation #travel
