• Bukit Mertajam: Exploring Penang’s Old Town Beyond George Town

  

  A trip through Bukit Mertajam uncovers the old-world charm of its shophouses, the spiritual calm of St. Anne’s Church, and the lively atmosphere of its markets and food stalls. Wandering the quieter streets offers a contrast to George Town, revealing a side of Penang that feels both authentic and unhurried.

• Penang Hill: A Forest Escape Above George Town

  

  Nature and history intertwine on Penang Hill, Malaysia’s only urban UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. I stroll through The Habitat’s rainforest trails, cross the Canopy Walk, and take in sweeping island views from Curtis Crest. I also peek at colonial-era spots like David Brown’s for a glimpse of Penang’s past.
