Exploring Penang (Georgetown): Things To Do in One Day
After our trip to Langkawi, we headed to Georgetown, in Penang, Malaysia. One day we walked around and did all these things in a single day. More coming on:
Penang, Malaysia is an island just off the coast of the West Coast of Malaysia. It’s one of the most famous areas of Malaysia, especially known for its rich and diverse culture and for its food - many people come to Penang just to eat - as did I. Ying and I arrived to Penang from Langkawi, and we stayed in Penang for about a week, doing some work, and eating out way through the city. One day though, we decided to put on our shoes and go to visit as many of the attractions in the center of the city as we could. So this travel videos is an overview of the top things to do in Georgetown, Penang, but also a travel guide as well. Hope you enjoy to!
To begin the day, I started off with a Penang tourist map and located all the places we wanted to go. Since we were staying close to the Georgetown World Heritage Inc., that’s where we first decided to stop. It’s more of an information center, so after just a few minutes we continued on our way to the Chew Jetty, one of the couple of Chinese docks where homes are built over the water. On the way though, we walked through Lebuh Armenian (one of the most famous streets in Penang), past George Town street art, and also briefly stopped at Cheah Kongsi. The Chew Jetty was a nice place to walk around for a few minutes, there wasn’t a lot to do there, but mostly some small souvenir shops and some nice places to take photos.
We continued walking and passed the Queen Victory Lighthouse and then we continued on to Fort Cornwallis, a British built fort, and the only fort in Malaysia - though as they said it wasn’t ever used for battle. I was a little disappointed visiting Fort Cornwallis in Penang because we paid a pretty big entrance fee, but there really wasn’t anything to see inside - I could have seen it all from the outside. Anyway, we continued on walking around Penang, and then circled back past a cathedral. By this time we were getting quite hungry, so we headed into Little India, and then continued to a famous restaurant called Kapitan for tandoori chicken. I didn’t know they were really famous for their rice biryani, but I got a couple pieces of tandoori chicken and naan, it they were both incredible.
In the afternoon, we first stopped at the Goddess of Mercy Temple in Penang, and walked around for a few minutes, and then continued on to Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion, one of Penang’s main attractions and a place I was really looking forward to visiting. Mr. Cheong, an insanely wealthy Chinese business man built the Blue Mansion and it has now been restored and it’s actually open as a hotel, but they also give a couple of guided tours each day. The tour took 45 minutes, and it was beautiful to see. The only thing I wish is that we could have seen a little more of the Blue Mansion, because unfortunately we didn’t get to see much, but mostly listened to the history of the mansion - still it was worth seeing in Penang.
To finish of one day of things to do in Penang, Georgetown, we visited the Kapitan Keling Mosque, and then lastly we went to Khoo Kongsi. For dinner to end this day in Penang, we went to a restaurant to eat dim sum, and a few other Chinese dishes as well.
Thank you for watching this “things to do in Geogetown, Penang” travel video. Hope you enjoyed it, and hope it will give you some ideas for what to do when you visit. More Penang street food videos coming soon!

Walking in GEORGETOWN / Penang (Malaysia) - Love Lane to Clan Jetty - 4K 60fps (UHD)
Georgetown on the island of Penang (Pulau Pinang) is a tourist favourite in Malaysia. As the second largest city in Malaysia and the old town being a UNESCO World Heritage Site Georgetown features a large number of eating places and several colonial-era buildings.
We start the walk with some birthday karaoke :-) on Love Lane. The area around Chulia Street has some of the nightlife and is more quiet during the day. We walk around and somewhat into the direction of the picturesque Armenia street.
On the way to the old core city we see the Kapitan Keling Mosque, and check some of the famous street art around the popular Armenia street. We finally go further to down to the sea and the Clan Jetties which are the old Chinese water villages.
A hot day with a final cool breeze near the ocean.

Staying at the Chulia Heritage Hotel in George Town - Penang, Malaysia Travel Video
Seeking comfort without paying a fortune, we decided to check in and stay at the Chulia Hertiage Hotel located in the heart of historic George Town on Penang Island, Malaysia. It's incredible how much our preferences and expectations have changed in such a short period of time. Only several months ago, we were staying in George Town, and our accommodations were much more humble. During that time, our guesthouse was nothing more than a tiny room with an old mattress, wobbly chair/desk and a fan that barely worked. The wifi in the room had a poor signal and considering how hot and humid it was outside, we literally felt like we were in a sauna with hot air blowing all around us. At the time, we were concerned with sticking to a strict budget and not spending extra for creature comforts.

Our standards have since increased significantly. When we first started out backpacking around SE Asia, I wrote an article ( where I discussed the challenges of being a digital nomad for the first time. In hindsight, I realize many of the issues we faced - of trying to balance work and play -stemmed from our environment.
During our carefree days of backpacking, when we were content staying in pokey rooms while trying to maximize our savings, it was fine to give up certain comforts in order to extended our journey given our dwindling bank accounts; however, now that we're earning money online and trying to run a business on the road we need a certain level of comfort that allows us to utilize our time optimally.
For example, long gone are the days we'd prefer to stay in dorms, party hostels or budget guest houses that don't offer air conditioning, clean showers, a quiet environment and reliable wifi.
Luckily, this time around we were able to find a great value budget Boutique Hotel that fits our new flashbacking ways. The Chulia Heritage hotel is located in an atmospheric part of George Town yet is nestled away from the hustle and bustle of noisy - and ever chaotic - Lebua Chulia (Chulia Street). As a former mansion in decay, this lovely refurbished guest house is like stepping back in time. With photos adorning the walls of its crumbling old charms, one can visually experience what it was like in the past while stepping on its creaky floor.
The rooms are nicely finished in pure white with a generous sized queen bed, drawer, night stand, modern television and air conditioning unit. The wifi - for the most part - works rather well. The bathrooms are shared (quite typical in Malaysia) but unlike other guest houses I've stayed at, these were impeccably clean.
Our stay was NOT sponsored and we paid out of pocket for the rooms. Coming in at 80 Ringgit, we thought the price we paid versus the value we received was excellent. We thought it would be interesting sharing our experiences staying at this hotel with plenty of history, quirks and modern day charms:
Mencari keselesaan tanpa membayar nasib, kami mengambil keputusan untuk mendaftar masuk dan tinggal di Chulia pusaka Hotel terletak di tengah-tengah George Town bersejarah di Pulau Pinang, Malaysia.
Ia adalah luar biasa berapa banyak pilihan dan harapan kita telah berubah dalam tempoh masa yang singkat. Hanya beberapa bulan yang lalu, kita telah tinggal di George Town, dan penginapan kami jauh lebih rendah diri. Pada masa itu, rumah tamu kami adalah tidak lebih daripada sebuah bilik kecil dengan tilam, kerusi goyah lama / meja dan peminat yang hampir tidak bekerja. The wifi di dalam bilik mempunyai isyarat yang lemah dan mempertimbangkan bagaimana panas dan lembap ia adalah di luar, kita benar-benar berasa seperti kita berada dalam sauna dengan udara panas bertiup di sekeliling kita. Pada masa itu, kita bimbang dengan berpegang.

This boutique hotel has sixteen rooms and they are all pool front. The rooms have been very thoughtfully decorated and they have vintage posters and photographs of an era long gone by.
Voila! My favorite - dim sum for breakfast. One of the things I like the most about here is that you have both western and Asian options.
They also have some very healthy options. I got the Muesli with yogurt and fresh fruits and milk.
This is a comfortable place for me to get work done right by the pool.

世界文化遺產名城「東方之珠」檳城喬治市之古蹟區遊
2016-6-26 下午2時40分來到檳城喬治市古蹟區老街， 史蹟徒步區—本頭公巷Armenian Street(打銅仔街、亞美尼亞街)，一個充滿藝術和紀念品的地方，這裏也有色彩繽紛紀念品商店、咖啡館，及人見人愛的人力車、自行車和各國遊客雲集。
喬治市(馬來語：Georgetown)，馬來西亞第二大都市、也是馬來西亞檳城州的首府、1957年曾成為大馬首個大城市。以英國國王喬治三世命名，喬治市位於檳島東北部，人口227,972人。整個喬治市都會區（檳城都會區）則涵蓋檳島，威省，雙溪大年及居林，有約229萬人口，超越了人口180萬的新山都會區。喬治市是檳城州乃至整個北馬區的政治、金融、旅遊、文化和高等教育中心。喬治市在2008年7月7日正式和馬六甲州的首府馬六甲市一起登錄世界文化遺產名錄。檳城喬治市建築新舊交錯，擁有宜人的陽光沙灘與美麗的城市風景，其古蹟建築古色古香，吸引許多國內外遊客慕名而來，成為全球十大最宜居退休人士住所的唯一亞洲城市。同時，檳城亦是馬來西亞最多華文中學的州屬。
檳城喬治市也會時常吸引許多外籍遊客到來，成為馬來西亞第二世界級城市。喬治市境內的陽光沙灘和美麗景色也被稱為了大馬之光。喬治市世界文化遺產古蹟區的面積達259.42公頃，其中包括古蹟核心區有109.38公頃，緩衝區150.04公頃。喬治市擁有馬來西亞最多的戰前建築物，占了全馬來西亞的三分之一。
喬治市街道的中文路名頗有特色，多以方言（福建話、廣東話）命名，並非以中文或稱普通話命名，與官方馬來文或英文路名不相應對。特別的是，同一條街在不同的段落具有不同的名字，也反映了喬治市早期街上的商業活動和生活風情。檳城是一個很獨特的地方，說她摩登，她又保留了老舊的街道和店屋，那彎彎窄窄巷子恍似一個迷宮的古蹟區；說她古老，島上卻又接連出現一棟又一棟的現代化新穎高樓。
今次主要觀光景點：韓江家廟（潮州會館）Han Jiang temple 為喬治市碩果僅存一座很有中國傳統特色的潮州式廟宇建築，也是檳城潮州人的精神地標, 2006年因其卓越的物質及非物質文化遺產保護工作，而獲得聯合國教科文組織頒發《亞太區文化遺產保護獎》，這是喬治市第一及唯一獲得該獎的民間團體。
2008年檳城非物質文化遺產【潮藝館】Teochew Puppet & Opera House 位於檳城喬治市打銅街(122, Armenian Street)，【潮藝館】設在「慕韓別墅」內，是【潮藝館】館長與「慕韓別墅」合作在這兒開設了這家小型潮劇博物館。潮藝館除了展覽潮劇和木偶劇的道具以外，特定的日子有表演。公眾可以藉此平台，深入地了解潮劇的文化和交流。用來收藏或送禮的藝術紀念品售賣部，設在門口售票處。
進入潮藝館購買紀念品是免費進入，參觀博物館收費大馬公民RM5, 外國遊客收費RM10。這裡展出的木偶、戲服部份可以借給參觀者穿著、把玩拍照。
下午5時到了最後景點—世界文化遺產【姓周橋 Chew Jetty】，檳城州檳島東北部海邊的海上橋狀木屋區，各橋主要以姓氏宗親分而聚居，最長的木橋向海延伸約500米，有者較短，左右建滿了木屋。原本共有9座姓氏橋，但在城市發展巨輪下有兩座姓氏橋被拆除興建成中廉價組屋。
姓氏橋為喬治市（檳城州首府）的一部分，而喬治市在2008年被聯合國教科文組織列入世界文化遺產。姓氏橋是喬治市重要的文化古蹟之一，它充分表現了喬治市海上居民的生活特色。
姓周橋是姓氏橋當中規模最大的一座橋，橋上約有75戶人家。建於19世紀中，橋民原鄉於中國福建省泉州同安縣杏林社。
下午5時40分結束了本地旅行團的太平、西岭、檳城喬治市一天遊。
此外影像也留下：名香泰餅家、菜店仔土產與手信、紅檳榔民俗文化坊Red Pinang Culture House、大樹下海鮮飯店、檳城市石塘謝公司 寶樹堂(世德堂)山門、老街坊Lao Jie Fang、福德祠、吉寧甲必丹回教堂 Masjid Kapitan Keling、葉氏宗祠 Yap Kongsi Temple、亞洲相機博物館 Asia Camera Museum、孫中山紀念館、Armenian Park、清真寺、慈濟宮Choo Chay Keong是葉氏宗祠( Yap Kongsi Clan House )的附屬宗廟，供奉著惠澤尊王。Julie Teddy & Shunka、Penang Plaza、衛理公會教堂、新關仔角地標、新關仔角夜市 Gurney Drive Hawker Center、Evergreen Laurel Hotel、Vouk Hotel Suites、MBF Cards @ MBF Tower、The Old Frees' Association、SK Wellesley、Deluxcious Luxurious Heritage Hotel、Farquhar Mansion Penang Fine Dining & Lounge、Church of the Assumption、喬治市高等法院、Hong Leong Bank、Dewan Undangan Negeri Pulau Pinang、州政府辦公室、舊關仔角地標、渡輪碼頭 Jeti Jalan Gereja、觀音寺、檳華女子中學、姓林橋 Lim Jetty、感天宮、姓陳橋Tan Jetty、玄母殿 Hean Boo Thean Kuan Yin Temple等。
