Penan
A mix of old and new, of East and
West, Penang’s variety is hard to beat.
From the highrise of its capital, Georgetown,
to the century old church, Chinese &
Indian temples & mosques, the melding of
the many faces & places in Penang is best
reflected in the aromatic hawker stalls lining
Guerney Drive.
When beaches beckon, Batu Ferringhi
provides the resorts & facilities for rest
and relaxation.
