I saw a great fire dance performance in Penang Right at Batu Ferringhi Beach Originally I just planned to go to the beach to find a beach club to watch the sunset. I didn't know until 7:30 Batu Ferringhi Beach has fire dance performances every night. Several restaurants/Beach Clubs can be seen on the beach. Even if you don't spend any money, you can still watch free performances just by sitting on the beach! (However, we still encourage everyone to buy a drink and a snack at the restaurant to support it) We were watching a show at Ferringhi Heart Beach Club Every night it starts around 7:30 and 9 or 9:30 The whole performance is about 45 minutes Looks super good! Be sure to watch till the end There’s more to come after the tipping session! The final fire dance with music is really touching🥺 I didn’t expect to see such a wonderful performance in Penang😍 If you come to Penang, you must go and see it. PS After the show, there are a lot of people and cars. If you want to take Grab, it is recommended that you walk to the main road near Helena restaurant and call a car.

#georgetowntrip 📍Address: P.66 66, Lebuh Campbell, George Town, 10100 George Town, Pulau Pinang, 马来西亚 A Hidden Gem in Penang – My P.66 Stationery Café Experience While wandering around George Town, Penang recently, I stumbled upon a charming little spot that totally caught me by surprise — P.66. Tucked away behind what looks like just a minimalist stationery store on Lebuh Campbell, this place is actually a beautiful blend of a Muji-style boutique and a cozy café. The vibe inside is immaculate — think clean white walls, warm wood accents, soft lighting, and calming background music. It’s the kind of space that makes you want to slow down, take a deep breath, and just be. The stationery selection is also a dream for journaling lovers — imported notebooks, premium pens, and all sorts of curated lifestyle items. What I loved most about P.66 is how it blends creativity and calm. Whether you’re a stationery nerd, a coffee enthusiast, or just looking for a quiet spot to recharge, this little hideout hits all the right notes. Definitely a place I’ll return to next time I’m in Penang. 🤎 #penang #cafe #travel #myitinerary #citydaytours

#georgetowntrip Penang Hill is absolutely magical, like stepping straight into a Hayao Miyazaki movie! Tip: Take the fast lane ticket for the cable car — it’s worth it to skip the long lines and save time. Price: RM80 round trip. Once you're up there, the air is fresh and the shade under the trees makes it really cool and breezy. Don’t miss the botanical garden — it’s like walking through a tropical rainforest where you’ll spot plants and animals you’ve probably never seen before. When you're tired, grab a cup of jungle coffee — it’s so relaxing! And if you’re an early bird, try catching the sunrise — it’s breathtaking. #travel

I've visited Penang, Malaysia three times now. Previously, I spent my time exploring George Town, but this time I decided to head north to Batu Ferringhi. It was truly relaxing! Now I understand why my friends from Kuala Lumpur all rave about Penang! At 6:30 PM, I walked into BoraBora and was lucky enough to get a front-row seat. Around 7:15 PM, the sunset began, and the view was absolutely breathtaking. For nearly an hour, the orange hues of the sea and the evening glow blended beautifully, followed by a lively bonfire party. To sum it up: "The sea in Penang may be average, but the atmosphere is absolutely perfect!" Penang also offers plenty of attractions and local delicacies worth exploring, such as: 1. George Town: As a UNESCO World Heritage city, it boasts numerous historic buildings and street art. Every corner holds a delightful surprise waiting to be discovered. 2. Penang Bridge: Connecting Penang Island to the mainland, this bridge offers spectacular ocean views. 3. Penang Hill: From the summit, you can enjoy stunning panoramic views of Penang, especially during sunrise and sunset. 4. Penang street food: Must-try dishes include Char Kway Teow, Penang Laksa, and Nasi Lemak, all of which are culinary delights you shouldn't miss.

(Psst—it’s **Air Itam Dam**, not *damn* 😉—but we get the love!) Just a short drive from Kek Lok Si Temple, this serene reservoir is a Penangite favorite for nature escapes. Built in 1962, it’s more than a water source—it’s where lush hills hug calm waters, creating a postcard-perfect retreat. **Why Locals Adore It 💚** For Penangites, the dam is a quiet antidote to city chaos. Morning joggers pace the shaded trails 🏃♂️🌳, families picnic by the water, and shutterbugs snap the mirror-like reflections of rainforest-clad peaks. The air here is crisper, the vibe slower—a reminder of Penang’s untamed beauty. **Secret Spot Alert!** Head to the **viewing platform** for a panoramic glimpse of the dam framed by jungle. It’s Insta-gold at sunrise or sunset, when the sky paints the water in pinks and oranges. 🌅📸 **Connect the Dots 🔄** Pair your Kek Lok Si visit with a dam detour! After temple crowds, unwind here with a *kopi-O* from a roadside stall ☕, or grab *Air Itam laksa* nearby (spicy, tangy, legendary! 🍜). Pro tip: Weekdays = fewer people! **Penangite Truth** ❤️ The dam isn’t just a backdrop—it’s part of our daily rhythm. We hike here to breathe, reflect, or simply *lepak* (chill) with friends. For us, it’s harmony: ancient temples and wild waters, side by side.

For those who visit Penang, we recommend you to visit 📍Penang Hill, another highlight of Penang. The steep mountain range, take the electric tram up to the viewpoint, it only takes a short ride. 👉🏻 According to the review, it says to be in front to see the view. The chance to take a beautiful photo is for those at the front of the line only. If you don't get in front, don't be sad. You can stand and take photos from there. It's just as beautiful. When we went, there were quite a few people. We went late, but it seemed like there were fewer people in the evening. Their nature is beautiful. The air up there is quite cool. There are many types of flowers and trees. The 360-degree view of the city is very beautiful. If you don't like walking, there are many places to rest. You can take a bus to Penang. If it's more convenient, take a Grab. I want everyone to try to see their city from a high angle. It's very beautiful. #tripfreeaccommodation #Penang #PenangMalaysia #PenangTravel #PenangHill #Malaysia #PenangTravelByYourself

See the nature, Feel the history. Located at the highest point in Penang, Penang Hill, also known as Bukit Bendera, is a must-visit for first-time visitors. Due to its elevated position, taking the cable car to the top offers a panoramic view of George Town and the mainland Butterworth. It is not only a natural spot for hiking but also a popular dating spot for couples. Malaysia was once a British colony, and due to its high altitude and beautiful scenery, Penang Hill became a place where the British built their villas. To facilitate travel up and down the hill, a cable car was constructed, which now serves as Penang's backyard, rich in ecological diversity. A round-trip cable car ticket costs 30 MYR, approximately 320 TWD. It is recommended to spend a bit more on a fast pass to avoid long queues both up and down the hill. This extra expense is worth it to save time. Upon reaching the summit, you will find a strong commercial presence with love locks, heart-shaped photo spots, and numerous restaurants and cafes. While it may feel a bit touristy, there are plenty of places to rest and grab a bite if you get hungry or thirsty. At the top, there is a vibrant Hindu temple dedicated to the war god Murugan, who is depicted holding a spear. There is also a Muslim mosque and the Gate House Bel Retiro, the former governor's residence, all remnants of the British colonial period. Penang Hill also features an eco-park that requires an additional fee. It includes a pristine rainforest ecosystem, a forest canopy walk, a giant swing, and a circular skywalk. There are plenty of attractions, making it a great spot for family outings.

#2月好去地方2025 On July 7, 2008, George Town in Penang, Malaysia was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Now, almost 17 years after its inclusion in the World Heritage List, we take a closer look at how this old port city became a world-renowned cultural heritage. The rise of George Town is related to its historical background as an important trading port on the East-West Waterway in the 19th century. The booming economy and post-war rent controls on old buildings have allowed George Town to retain the largest collection of historic buildings in Malaysia today, and has given rise to a diverse and complex ethnic structure, cultural practices and spatial landscapes. The entrance to the UNESCO site is Armenian Street. At its intersection with Cannon Street, you can see the iconic pagoda-style minaret of Acheen Street Mosque, while on the other side is the famous clan temple Longshan Tang Qiu Gongsi hidden behind the street houses, and the former secret society base Po Fook She Fuk Clan Temple. On the other side is the Tzu Chi Temple and Ye Clan Temple on Datongzai Street (also Armenian Street). The street is filled with centuries-old monuments and new buildings, traditional culture and emerging industries. It's really worth selling!

#2月好地方2025 In 2018, the Diocese of Penang unveiled a new milestone – the establishment of a new Catholic Museum. The museum is located on Jalan Huat Gai in Penang, right next to the Catholic Church of the Assumption, one of the world cultural heritage sites. The review of Catholic history in Malaya begins with the publication of the papal bull by Pope Alexander VI, which is a map of the Pontifical Meridian. Later, the Portuguese conquered Malacca, and Catholic churches began to be born in Malaya. Later, the Dutch and British dominated their colonies in Asia, and members of the Paris Foreign Missions Society began to actively preach in Malaya. These historical deeds and Catholic-related items with a history as far back as 100 years. Each of these is recorded in the museum, delicately presenting the evolution of the church in the Penang Diocese. The museum is not large, but it exhibits a series of precious relics from the former site of the monastery, while also depicting the ups and downs of the Catholic Church in Islamic countries over the past two hundred years.

👩🚒 The Central Fire Station 1908 in Penang is a striking red and white old building located on a street corner. It has been in operation since 1908 and is one of the 82 historic buildings in Georgetown, combining colonial and local styles. ✨️ 💁♀️ It is still fully operational with modern equipment.

Going to Penang? 🇲🇾 Let me introduce another place to visit in Penang that you must not miss! This is Penang Hill. It is a popular location that anyone who goes to Penang must check in. Actually, the atmosphere up here is very good. The view is very good. But when we went, it was pouring rain! So we got fog instead of beautiful views. The atmosphere is different in another way. Penang Hill is a little far from Penang city. You can get there by bus, grab. The path is not difficult. You don't have to go up a high mountain. You can go up the mountain only when you take the cable car. Anyone who goes to Penang must not miss this location. #WinterAttractions
