PENANG TRAVEL GUIDE: TOP 5 THINGS TO DO (In One Day)

Penang's vibrant and diverse capital, George Town, is located on the Malaysian island of Penang. The city is noted for its British colonial structures, Chinese shophouses, and mosques, and was once an important Straits of Malacca commerce hub. George Town is a modern metropolis with skyscrapers and shopping complexes beyond the old town. 

Today we visit Penang Hill, a hiking trail and funicular railway, which provides a panoramic view of the city. Then a stone's throw away we go. Thean Kong Thnuah Temple is a Chinese temple located at the foot of Penang Hill in Air Itam, Penang. Completed in 1869, it is the only temple in Malaysia built specifically for the worship of the Jade Emperor and becomes a focal point for the annual Jade Emperor's Birthday celebrations on the 9th day of Chinese New Year. From there we walked to More than two hundred years ago, the Bats' Cave Temple of Tua Peh Kong was established at the foot of Penang Hill, on Jalan Pokok Ceri. The temple is remarkable and unique since it is home to a few dozen bats who live in the cave inside the temple. Then just a quick walk to Jinggangshan Penang Hill Temple, the main component of the temple, which is a hall or pavilion with a standing Buddha image, is located next to it, on slightly higher ground. The entrance to the hall is marked by a large arch with the temple's name, Jinggangshan. As you ascend the stairwell towards the hall, you'll notice a great number of gilded pagodas, or stupas, lining the hill. Then finally we finished off the day at little India which is a vibrant neighbourhood with dozens of Indian clothes, jewellery, and street food shops and vendors.
