Lovely Penang
Georgetown is the capital city of the Malaysian state of Penang. A place rich with culture, history and good food, the oldest portion of the city is a UNESCO world heritage site.
Wander through the old town, and you'll come across a variety of local foods that are hard to resist. Asam Laksa- noodles in a rich tamarind and mackerel fish broth, with a side of fragrant herbs. Rojak - a mixed fruit salad drizzled with a tangy shrimp paste dressing. Fresh nasi kandar - rice served with an array of side dishes, sauces and curries. Piles of durians and mangosteens are displayed along the sidewalk; both fruit seasonal from May to July.
Take a trishaw ride to explore the old streets, visit temples and museums, or take in the architecture of colonial-era shophouses. If you enjoy nature, the Botanical Gardens and the National Park are worth a visit. The Meromictic Lake is a rare phenomenon to witness from May to August every year. You can see the skyline of Georgetown from the top of Penang Hill.
Penang Island is connected to the mainland by two bridges and ferry services.
In this artwork are some elements that reflect Penang and Malaysian culture and history. There are also 15 hidden HAMSTERS clowning around. Can you find them all?
