I’m not going to lie, eating and roaming around looking at all the street art were my two, absolute favorite activities in George Town. That is not to say that there was nothing else to do though. Penang offered a wide range of activities, and I did manage to fit in three of the more popular ones (with the addition of the Blue Mansion which I have already written about). So if you find yourself looking for even more to do in George Town, consider checking out Batu Ferringhi Beach, the Clan Jetties along Weld Quay, and Penang Hill.
Did you know that you can tour the mansion that was used as one of the filming locations in Crazy Rich Asians? Well you can! This post is all about the story behind the Blue Mansion in George Town, Malaysia.
Penang is considered to be the food capital of Malaysia, and by some, to have the best food in all of Asia. Here are some of my favorite pescatarian dishes from this foodie haven that you simply cannot miss!
George Town, Penang has recently developed newfound charm amongst tourists due to its vibrant street art scene. In this post, I share some photos of a small fraction of the colorful murals to be found on the city streets.
I didn’t research George Town all that much before arriving. I knew it was an old colonial town with some recently developed charm in the travel spheres, and some famous street art, but that was all. As soon as I stepped foot onto the narrow streets filled with beautiful old buildings and quirky artwork, I had to know more. This was not typical Asia. Where was I?
