#MarchGoodPlaces2025 #Malaysia #Penang #PenangAttractions #PenangNightMarket Shantou Street is located in downtown Penang. Here you can try a variety of Penang’s famous delicacies at one time and feel the atmosphere of Penang. I had three dishes here, Bak Kut Teh, Omelette Oyster and Satay, and also took away a bowl of duck porridge and rice noodle soup to eat back at the hotel. Malaysian Bak Kut Teh is Fujian style, cooked with a variety of Chinese medicinal herbs, spices and dark soy sauce. It has a distinct medicinal flavor and tastes good without being too salty. Oyster omelette is a bit similar to Taiwanese oyster omelette, which is made of large oysters and eggs without starch. It is delicious when paired with sauce. Satay is paired with peanut-flavored sauce, and the salty-sweet taste is delicious. Finally, even the Grab driver recommended us to eat duck congee and rice noodle soup. It is a delicacy recommended by many people in Shantou Street. The congee and rice noodle soup is duck meat soup and rice noodles. The ingredients include duck meat, pig intestines, pig ears, pig skin, pig blood, braised eggs and pig skin. However, we dare not eat the offal, so we asked them not to add offal. When we brought it back to the hotel, it was still hot, but we didn’t understand why it was so delicious. 🕰️Business hours: 17:00–22:00 daily

I've visited Penang, Malaysia three times now. Previously, I spent my time exploring George Town, but this time I decided to head north to Batu Ferringhi. It was truly relaxing! Now I understand why my friends from Kuala Lumpur all rave about Penang! At 6:30 PM, I walked into BoraBora and was lucky enough to get a front-row seat. Around 7:15 PM, the sunset began, and the view was absolutely breathtaking. For nearly an hour, the orange hues of the sea and the evening glow blended beautifully, followed by a lively bonfire party. To sum it up: "The sea in Penang may be average, but the atmosphere is absolutely perfect!" Penang also offers plenty of attractions and local delicacies worth exploring, such as: 1. George Town: As a UNESCO World Heritage city, it boasts numerous historic buildings and street art. Every corner holds a delightful surprise waiting to be discovered. 2.

My night flight to Penang, we randomly chose a cheaper hotel to spend the night, found Loop on leith george town, the overall feeling was good! The lobby is very spacious, feels like a co-working space, and there is a small coffee shop, but unfortunately it was not open when we checked in🙈 Except for the glass window seat to look at the street view, the other side is even a red brick design, quite beautiful to take pictures! In terms of rooms, the space is smaller, but there are everything you need, hair dryers are available, so it can be said that although the sparrow is small, it has all the organs, the key is that the location is super convenient✨ #globaltravel #Penang #Malaysia

✨Swatow Coffee 🔅221, Lebuh Kimberley, George Town, Pulau Pinang 🔅 Open daily 08:30 - 16:30 🔅 Closed every Monday I stumbled upon this place and had the best coffee and delicious charcoal-flavored toast in Penang. The coffee, brewed in the traditional Malaysian way, is really rich and savory. I tried the Salted Coffee, which was recommended by the cafe, and it had a sweet and slightly bitter taste, just like dalgona! The portion was generous too 🧡 I also had the toast called Roti Goyang, which comes with a half-boiled egg on top, and it was really 👍👍👍. Honestly, I couldn't taste the charcoal flavor in other cafes, but the toast here is full of it. The bread is crispy and moist, and the half-boiled egg is perfectly seasoned, making it really delicious. Looking at the photos in the cafe, it seems like it's not well-known in Korea, but it's highly recommended by locals. Oh, and I recommend the window seat on the second floor where you can overlook the streets of George Town. It's also great for taking photos 😊 The air conditioning is strong, and there's Wi-Fi, so it's a good place to do some personal work while enjoying coffee and toast. The interior is clean, and the staff are all very friendly. (It's especially good for breakfast since it opens at 8:30 AM 👍)

#2月好去地方2025 George Town in Penang has been blessed by Unesco Heritage for many years and is a colorful experience. Despite its plain exterior, the interior is like a treasure trove, cleverly displaying bits and pieces of Malay-Nyonya life. The creative and colorful decorations exude charm and personality, so it has been very popular with tourists since its opening. The most famous one is the brother and sister riding bicycles, and others include those reflecting daily life or cute cats and dogs, etc. It would be more suitable to take photos during the day. Taking a rickshaw to admire the colorful houses and the beautiful graffiti murals on the walls really adds to the atmosphere.

Penang Kek Lok Si Temple, also known as Kuil Kek Lok Si, is reputed to be the largest Chinese Buddhist temple in Southeast Asia. The temple is dedicated to the Goddess of Mercy, Guanyin, and features a towering 30-meter statue of Guanyin at its peak. The temple is built on the slopes of Crane Hill, with such a significant elevation difference that a cable car is needed to travel between different parts of the temple. How cool is that! If you are interested in temple culture, this is definitely a must-visit attraction when traveling to Penang. The full name of Kek Lok Si Temple is 'Crane Hill Kek Lok Zen Temple', and it is said to have been bestowed the title 'Buddha's Land between Sea and Sky' by the Empress Dowager Cixi. Kek Lok Si Temple features the 'Pagoda of Ten Thousand Buddhas', a seven-story pagoda with the bottom two levels designed in a Chinese octagonal style, the middle three levels in a Thai white pagoda style, and the top two levels in a Burmese golden stupa style. It is a rare architectural design that combines elements from Chinese, Thai, and Burmese pagodas. Located in the suburbs of George Town, Kek Lok Si Temple is often visited together with Penang Hill. The most convenient way to get there is by Grab, but it can be difficult to get a ride from the top of the temple, so it's best to walk down to the base of the hill.

#2月好去地方2025 On July 7, 2008, George Town in Penang, Malaysia was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Now, almost 17 years after its inclusion in the World Heritage List, we take a closer look at how this old port city became a world-renowned cultural heritage. The rise of George Town is related to its historical background as an important trading port on the East-West Waterway in the 19th century. The booming economy and post-war rent controls on old buildings have allowed George Town to retain the largest collection of historic buildings in Malaysia today, and has given rise to a diverse and complex ethnic structure, cultural practices and spatial landscapes. The entrance to the UNESCO site is Armenian Street. At its intersection with Cannon Street, you can see the iconic pagoda-style minaret of Acheen Street Mosque, while on the other side is the famous clan temple Longshan Tang Qiu Gongsi hidden behind the street houses, and the former secret society base Po Fook She Fuk Clan Temple. On the other side is the Tzu Chi Temple and Ye Clan Temple on Datongzai Street (also Armenian Street). The street is filled with centuries-old monuments and new buildings, traditional culture and emerging industries. It's really worth selling!

The most special accommodation in Penang is probably the Blue Room! This is actually the former residence of Mr. Zhang Bishi (the last official of the Qing Dynasty). As a prominent figure at that time, he designed and built his mansion very distinctively and full of historical value! Now it has been converted into a hotel, the room space is very large, antique style, and there is a back door can directly access the swimming pool, personally very like ✨ Due to the number of rooms, you can enjoy the quiet atmosphere of the hotel, in addition, the hotel has many beautiful photo spots, such as the spiral staircase and atrium location 🫶🏻 #globaltravel #Penang #Malaysia

Penang has a century-old history and is full of the colors of the British colonial period. The white classical buildings are very elegant, and the palm trees dotted around them have a strong Nanyang style. The hotel building is divided into two wings, old and new.

From exploring the charming streets of George Town, filled with vibrant murals and colonial-era buildings, to indulging in Penang’s famous street food — every meal was a treat! Char kway teow, asam laksa, and cendol were definite highlights. Beyond the city, I enjoyed the serene coastal views and a relaxing stroll along Penang’s beaches. The blend of culture, history, and nature made the trip memorable. Whether it was visiting temples, night markets, or hidden cafés, there was always something exciting to discover. Penang’s rich heritage and amazing food scene definitely make it a place worth returning to!

#2月好去地方2025 The House of Yeap Chor Ee in Penang is the former residence of a Chinese banker in Penang. There are some old items and furniture inside that are worth seeing. An inconspicuous, deserted, and fee-charging small museum. The artifacts and characters in the museum are so lifelike that it seems as if you have entered a time tunnel. It features exquisite mother-of-pearl inlaid furniture, intricate embroidery work with various bird motifs, and handicrafts from the Yeap family. The upper floors tell the intimate story of a Chinese immigrant's rise from a humble barbershop to becoming a successful businessman and banker.

There is also a delicatessen nearby, famous for snack bars and shopping malls. The place is clean and good service, so I decided to stay at this. It only costs 1,000 yuan in Hong Kong dollars for 3 nights, which is really a bargain! I couldn't get a grab at the airport so I took the 401E bus for RM 2.7 and walked a few minutes to get there. This hotel only has three floors, so the rooms are not very wide but enough to live in, but note that most rooms have no windows. The room is spacious and bright, the decor is simple and stylish. The bedding is soft and comfortable, making you not want to get up once you lie on it. There is an indoor pool and Gym Room, the amenities are not very big, but this price is good value for money! There are also small shops downstairs, hair salon, tea room.....walk a little further, and UNESCO attractions.
