3-Day Penang Itinerary in Malaysia

As a child learning history, I learned about the major population migrations in China, which included venturing to the Northeast, moving to the West, and settling in Nanyang. The charm of Nanyang has always been something I yearned for, and Penang is the first stop on my journey to the South Seas. A 40-minute flight transfer from Kuala Lumpur took me to Penang, where I chose to stay near Shantou Street. Char Kway Teow, Jian Dui, Curry Mee, Hokkien Mee, Durian... truly a food paradise, there are so many delicious foods worth trying. 【First Stop】Street Art and Peranakan Museum The ancient Nanyang-style architecture paired with interesting and lively street art is just perfect for a city walk. Strolling leisurely here, every snapshot is filled with artistic flair. Of course, I couldn't miss the most famous murals. The Peranakan Museum, also known as the Penang Overseas Chinese Museum, is one of the most beautiful historic mansions in George Town, Penang, displaying the daily life of the prominent Zheng Jinggui family. 【Second Stop】Penang Hill The highest peak in Penang, offering a panoramic view of the entire city. The most famous attraction of Penang Hill is the funicular train, which allows you to enjoy the scenic beauty as if you were in a comic book. Unfortunately, it was under annual maintenance when I visited, and I regretfully missed it. In the end, I had to take a jeep up the hill, the winding mountain roads even had cute monkeys to see! Reaching the top, the view over Penang was breathtaking. 【Third Stop】Durian Farm Penang is very famous for its durians, and if you like durians, you must not miss this! This is the most recommended part of my entire trip! There are many durian farms on the back of Balik Pulau. Find a farm with beautiful scenery, where you can eat durians and enjoy the view at the same time, it's simply therapeutic! 【Fourth Stop】Batu Beach The beautiful sunset beach in Penang is perfect for relaxing in the evening. It's best to arrive at the beach at 5 pm to secure a good spot to watch the sunset. Waiting quietly for the sunset, the moment you see the pink and purple twilight, you realize that the beauty of this world is just so~

feeling artistic in a mansion

#artshunting Entrance fee is affordable at RM20 per adult and totally worth the price. We visited at 10am during a public holiday. The mansion is so large that it is hardly noticeable from the outside. Everything is well maintained and beautiful. In addition, there are many antiques that are meticulously displayed. Excellent example of a typical rich merchants home - full of antiques & access to so many rooms. There are English speaking guides and also mandarin tour at certain times of the day and they are very informative. I enjoyed the central courtyard and the different tiles throughout the premises, as well as the ancestral hall and the paintings. I really appreciate the effort of the current owner to preserve this historical and cultural heritage, and presented to the public. I’m still in awe of how rich the Peranakan culture is. I highly recommend it to those traveling to Georgetown. You should never miss this attraction #penang #penangart #art #museum
