Penang, Pearl Of The East!
by Alfred Gomez
The areca nut tree, or so called the
Penang Tree gives the name to this state.
Here, you'll find everything you need to
know about Penang as a travel
destination.
The exciting island of Penang, is located
just off the west coast of Malaysia.
The island of Penang, with its sandy white beaches
and beautiful sea shores have always made Penang
a top tourist destination in Malaysia. Penang is an
island with around three million people. Penang oh-
so-effortlessly combines a charming village vibe with
a cosmopolitan edge, Malaysian style. We traveled
to Butterworth where we transferred to a ferry for a
short ride to Penang, a large island off of Malaysia.
The island is connected to the mainland by the
Penang bridge (one of the worlds longest). Today,
the coastal Malaysian island of Penang is as
industrial as it is colonial. This came to be reflected in
the form of an active freedom movement in the
island of Penang.
George Town, which is Penang’s capital is located at
the north-eastern tip of the island. Or if you prefer to
get away from it all, take a trip to Penang Hill and
enjoy a panoramic view of the island. Somewhere
near the head lies a cluster of good beaches that
lends Penang the euphemism of a resort island.
Penang is as oriental as the Chinese coolies and
merchants who settled on the island in increasing
numbers.
The real Penangites love the food so much, that they
have a warm meal in the morning at the hawker
stalls. More countries should take a lesson from the
people of Penang.
