- Tourism related info about Penang hotels,
nightlife, pictures and things to do in
Penang city Malaysia
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.
Things to do in Penang City

or less everything illustrated with pictures

for 390 Spanish dollars. It
is situated in the
district of Tulloh
Aier Radja dated 1. day
of August 1803 granted by
Sir George

Island. The
first Chief Monk of the pagoda
