Penang, also known as the "Pearl of the Orient," is a vibrant blend of cultures, history, and culinary excellence, making it a must-visit destination in Malaysia. Its capital, George Town, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site celebrated for its well-preserved architecture and multilayered history, having been a significant trading post in the past. Penang is famous for its diverse food scene, with street food gaining the most praise. The island is noted for dishes such as Char Koay Teow and Penang Assam Laksa. To truly experience local culture, visitors can explore the historical streets, and George Town's street art provides a contemporary contrast against its traditional heritage buildings. Tourists are recommended to visit key attractions like Penang Hill for panoramic views and Kek Lok Si Temple for its architectural beauty and historical significance. Fort Cornwallis offers a glimpse into Penang's history while George Town delivers an unforgettable exploration of cultural and historical treasures.
