Mural Paintings and Steel Rod Sculptures @ Penang

Besides eating local hawker food, visiting the multi-racial temples and Penang Hill, visiting each site for mural paintings and steel rod sculptures is also a very fun activity. There are a few ways to do this, so it's either by walking which can be very tedious or riding on a bicycle or taking a trishaw to go around from one place to another. Steel rod sculptures can be easily located but mural painting can be a bit hidden from the main street despite you get on the correct street by using the map. So don't hesitate to ask the locals for direction if you can't find! =)

Map can be downloaded from here: http://www.tourismpenang.net.my/pdf/street-art-brochure.pdf

So make sure that you pay them a visit before they are being destroyed because most of them are not well maintained.

Enjoy and have a nice day!

Heaven for Food @ Penang

Trust me, you will never die of hunger if you are in Penang! Every corner of the street and every part of the city has its own famous food.

Enjoy and have a nice day..

Penang Hill @ Penang Island

Penang Hill has been evolving for the past few year and it's now a super famous tourist spot on Penang Island (more famous than it was previously). I can see that many of its features e.g. ticketing system, the cable car and the entertainment it contains adapted from other countries that I have been. And one more thing that is very great is that it has a multi-stories building for you to park your car to solve your trouble for looking for road-side parking and there are many buses to get you there as well! So if you haven't been there, make sure that you go there for at least once and I am sure that you will like it! =) 

The queue is long as early as 8 am! You can choose to pay the standard pay to queue up for the cable car or pay more to get into the fast lane to skip the queue..

Very nice cable car.. Since it is so packed during peak hours, you can't really enjoy the comfort in the cable car during the ride..

"We are on Penang Hill!" =) A clear sky to start our day..

Enjoy and have a nice day..
