Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 чер 2024
- Penang island has become a popular tourist destination thanks to its colonial architecture, natural and cultural attractions, and some of the best street food in Asia. Here are 10 of the best things to do in Penang:
10. Try The Unique Cuisine Of Penang
Dishes you should try include Laksa, Cendol, and Nasi Kandar. In the heart of George Town you can also find the Chulia Street Night Market where you can sample some delicious Chinese-Malaysian food, such as Char Kuey Teow & Wonton Mee.

9. Explore George Town’s Historical Streets & Art Scene
When walking around the historical area, you’ll find lots of beautiful buildings and wall paintings, which represent images from Penang’s past and daily life.

8. Take The Funicular Up To Penang Hill
Penang Hill offers panoramic views of the city and the mainland in the distance. But you can also find a Hindu temple, a mosque, a variety of nature trails, an art gallery, and even cafés and food courts.
7. Discover Flora And Fauna At The Habitat
The Habitat is a rainforest discovery center that takes you into the heart of the jungle. It’s a treasure of biodiversity, boasting an abundance of wildlife. You can explore the forest by walking a nature trail, including informational signs, a canopy walk and a viewing platform.

6. Stroll Around Clan Jetties in George Town
Located at the waterfront, this unique type of settlement was created by Chinese immigrants in the late 19th century. There are now six jetties you can visit, and Chew Jetty is the most popular one with many souvenir shops and places to eat.
5. Explore Little Indi
The temple Sri Mahamariamman marks the start of the area and behind it, you’ll find colorful streets with goldsmiths and stores selling sarees and trinkets. But what we loved the most was the tasty and authentic Indian food.
4. Discover The Buddhist Kek Lok Si Temple
Kek Lok Si is the largest Buddhist temple in Malaysia. The temple is made up of colorful prayer halls, beautiful gardens, ponds with fish and turtles, an impressive seven-tiered pagoda, and a large bronze statue of the Buddhist Goddess of compassion.
3. Hike At Penang National Park
Penang National Park is the smallest national park in Malaysia. There are 3 walking trails that cut through the jungle here. We decided to take the right fork to head to Monkey Beach, which is the most popular and easiest of the three trails as it’s relatively flat.

2. Sunbathe On Batu Ferringhi Beach
Batu Ferringhi Beach has powdery soft sands and turquoise waters to enjoy. It’s a great place to watch the sunset.
1.Balik Pulau Bike Ride
Balik Pulau is a hidden gem is covered by beautiful greenery, paddy fields, and rolling hills. It’s less populated and less developed than the rest of the island.

Hi, Thanks for the video. :) If you could help me i have 2 doubts. Did you rent a moto on Penang ?(If so, was easy ?). Did you bought the tickets for the entries online ? Thank you.
We didn't rent a scooter in Penang because our Malay friend advised against that. That's because Penang is very busy and it can be dangerous to drive a scooter around there. We used GRAB to get around, which is just like Uber, and it's very cheap in Malaysia! We bought all tickets when we were there!
Yes sir, Penang is very nice place,, but very hard to look for a parking space. I have been there before. 😊
I can imagine! Luckily we didn't have a car hah
Love how my boy Eddie poetically puts it. "Whether it's good or bad, you know, you see a real Malaysia"
Hahaha he’s right 😂
Anytime you want anything's just thelocal
Same like goa
Thank you for video , kindly what is the name of Indian restaurant
It was called “Sardaarji - Flavours of Punjab” 🤤🤤 thinking about the food there makes us want to go back to Penang 😂
Hi, great video! How many days did you stay in Penang? I'm planning stay there for 4 nights and I wonder if it's not too long 🤔
We stayed for 5-6 days but we travel slower because of our videos. I think 4 days is okay if you're planning to visit the different corners of the island (like the national park and Balik Pulau). If you're planning to stay in George Town mostly, then I'd say 2-3 days is enough!
@@worldwildhearts great, thank you! 🙂
Great video, congrats ☺️ did you rent a car in Penang? If yes, what was your experience, how complicated parking is around mentioned places? ☺️
We didn’t rent a car because we just used Grab (like Uber but in Asia) everywhere we went. It’s so cheap (maybe 10usd for a 30mins ride), so we didn’t even bother looking into rental cars. I’d say it’s hard to drive yourself as it can be chaotic, but definitely doable and many places have some parking available
I would say very doable on a Sunday when traffic very much lighter and road side parking is free. Other days traffic can be busy and full of menacing motorcycles..

dont do it. crazy rules are out the window. If you get in an accident it will be your fault no matter what happens. If you do chance it. Get some lessons in local driving. It's very fluid
The Indian food looks amazing. do you have a restaurant list for little india to share?
We have some recommendations in our blog post. You can find the link below the video! The food in Little India was superb!!
Sir, if I stay only 2 nights, 3 day at Penang in July 2024, which places do you suggest to visit?. Thanks
Hello there, how do we contact Eddie for the Balik Pulau bike ride?
You can find the link to the tour he offers in the description below the video!
Hello .. we booked a 4-day trip in malaysia.. It's my first time to go abroad ..
We are staying at KL .. do you suggest to go in Penang ? Or its not enough time to roam around? It's 3hrs drive from KL to penang ..
I don't know if 1day is enough.. what are the main places or MUST VISIT IN PENANG if ever? ..thank you
If you only have 4 days, I'd mainly stay in KL and go on a day trip to Malacca / Putrajaya instead. There's tons to do in KL as well!
We are planning to go to another city besides Kuala Lumpur but we can’t decide which one is better to have sea and also culture: Langkawi, Penang or Kota Kinabalu
Hmm they're both very different! Kota Kinabalu is quite far, like you'll have to take a 3 hour flight to get there. The city isn't very nice but the snorkeling is. Langkawi is really an island vibe.. lots of pretty beaches and relaxed atmosphere. Penang is busier and especially George Town is a city, but it also has some beaches and lots of culture.
Banyak turis nggak' ada di sana nah orang' Nya sibuk damai disini pernah satu tahun liburan kefamily
Penang Chinese.
I am confused between Entopia by Penang Butterfly Farm Vs The Top penang. We are a family consisting of aged people and no children. I would highly appreciate if you can help me decide.
They're all very different! We like the funicular ride as there are many things to do on the top of penang. what did you decide?
I went to the hill. It was my worst experience in Malaysia TBH. There was a big queue due to which it took almost 2 hours to reach the top. Due to this, I arrived late for Habitat where the last entry is 5:30 PM. If I knew that all this would take so much time, in that case I would have made my plan accordingly. I just spent approx 30 mins at the top, as to get down, there was again a big queue. The management of penang hill/furnicular train is pathetic and unprofessional. And, to be frank, there is nothing to do on the top of the hill. Washrooms are in pathetic condition too. For local visitors, it may be of some value but for international tourists, I don't find anything special. We lost around 180 RN as we could not enter Habitat and Klook is helpless on this. @@worldwildhearts
Hear of the hilltrain will drop on purpose? Ever heard of "10+years ago statements" then happen? I think it's like that kind of information.
What is the name of the restaurant in little India
It was called “Sardaarji - Flavours of Punjab” 🤤🤤
Nice vlog but let me rectify that Penang is Northern state not the westeren 😊
Hello how you guys commuting? By taxi?
By Grab App (like Uber but for Asia). It’s the most convenient way to get around! And it’s really affordable in Malaysia
@@worldwildhearts alright cheers!! 🥰
5 kali maunya dari Jakarta itu kecil pulaunya penang ini
Is Penang or Langkawi the better travel destination?
Depends on your taste! We preferred the island vibes of Langkawi more
Heritage macau, monotheism ending
That's where you go to eat when you're in SE Asia.
Some amazing food in Penang!
Why to eat indian food , while u are in Malaysia , you should try Malaysian food it’s so delicious , we ate only their cuisine
I’m so surprised that people like so much Penang. It’s my personal opinion, but I didn’t like it. I spent 3 weeks in Penang, and took the time to visit. There are so many huge buildings everywhere. And it looks like every video I watch about Penang manage to hide them. It’s also very dirty. But it’s my just my opinion. However I agree with the amazing people and food
maybe you are a very dirty person.
Instead of advising people not to leave their plastic bottles on the beach, which sounds like an eco decor, why don’t you ask your viewers to bring non disposable bottles ?
Because it’s shit
?
Because you can’t drink tapwater in all countries. You would have to buy a water bottle, to fill your nondisposable water bottle.
Poor penang. Though second to no one in cuisine but their officer are amongst the worst. Especially the airport officer. They are all never learn how to respect. As you know, me as indonesian often visit there for medication. I went home from penang after surgery when i was in airport. They did not even helpful but tease you after push you out from wheelchair. And keep shouting "wayang". Which is mean i faking my illness. From that moment i will never go there anymore. I choose singapore for services instead of penang. If you are really broke and need holiday so bad you can go there. If you have more money to spend believe me singapore is way more better. I had been sent my complain for so many times to malaysian airport authority but no response.
@Shahshyy_. always love penang before the incident. They respect us but after that incident everything will never be the same anymore. I love your peoples, but your government sucks. Your government ruin your reputation
@@hermanmiller2142 What are your feelings about someone saying 'Prabowo Subianto sucks!'? Prabowo Subianto's government will ruin your reputation. It's the same thing, don't jump quickly to conclusions based on a person
The best than Thailand cheap and convenience to go and stay
I am from Malaysia, the Malaysia Government and Malaysia Royal Police work closely with Myanmar Military / Junta that are killing everyone in Myanmar. Malaysian government is helping people kidnap innocent people and torturing them until they die. Please help raise awareness, google Malaysia abductions and youll see that these cases go cold because the Malaysian police are doing these crimes. This month a woman, her husband, and three CHILDREN have been missing for 4 weeks!! I dont know her but this has raised many questions in my city and everyone wants to leave Malaysia. Please do your research before coming here, foreigners are targets in Malaysia and its sad because soon nobody will come to our country!
Damn scary
Boring
