Penang City is more or less Georgetown, a very busy Asian island city with a blend of Asian ethnic groups such as Malay, Chinese, Indian and some what they call "westerners". With beautiful colonial style buildings which made it from colonial times to the present, some are renovated very nicely others not. The typical small Chinese houses are still lining the streets in the city. There are some great pagoda, temples, mosques and churches, they reflect the multicultural nature of the People living in Georgetown. Both Buddhist temples shown below are more or less at the same location just opposite the road. Try to see this as a city guide for a foreigner who touch down at the island and have a look around. We included plenty of Penang city pictures to make it visually appealing and informative since every picture tells more than thousand words, that's also true in Malaysia.

There are great stylish Penang Hotels around such as the Eastern & Oriental Hotel, there are more tourist oriented such as the Cititel in Georgetown's center and plenty of other expensive and budget, its all there. For a long stay rent a apartment or but some property which is the best for people retiring on the island.

The Dammikarama Burmese or Myanmar Buddhist pagoda -pictures left- has been identified as one of the 15 historical sites of Penang. This Georgetown pagoda land was purchased by Nonia Betong from George

Layton for 390 Spanish dollars. It is situated in the district of  Tulloh Aier Radja dated 1. day of August 1803 granted by Sir George Leith, Baronet LT., Governor of  Prince of Wales Island. The first Chief Monk of the pagoda was venerable U Nandamala. Thinking about things to do in Penang? A good idea would be to explore all this pagodas, temples and mosques.
