Encounter a day in the life of Penang as you cruise the colorful streets of Georgetown's Chinatown and Little India in a trishaw — the "King of the Road." This unhurried ride is an experience not to be missed.
Pause to inspect the majestic Khoo Kongsi Chinese Clan House — reputedly the most beautiful outside China. Its intricate wood and granite carvings make this a must-visit place.
Continue your journey to view the architectural splendor of Penang's yesteryear. The Penang Museum & Art Gallery is housed in the remains of the original Penang Free School. Built in 1821, the museum houses a fine collection of old photographs, maps, charts and other historical relics.
Travel on to Leith Street, where you will catch a glimpse of the Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion.
Stop for tea and refreshments at the nostalgic Eastern & Oriental Hotel, built in 1885 during Georgetown's colonial heyday.
Your journey back to the pier is dotted with many colonial relics, and it's easy to imagine life in colonial times.
This is a true insight into the architectural design of Georgetown that retains its charm and character.
