After getting picked up from your hotel, stroll through Chew Jetty—a living heritage community site. Wonder at the traditional Khoo Kongsi (Chinese clan) stilted homes on the water, and admire the intricate stone carvings and woodwork.

Immerse yourself in the diverse culture of Little India and Chinatown in Penang. You can watch people as they go about their daily lives, listen to the various languages being spoken, and smell scrumptious food from all over the world.

Don't miss out on sampling the distinctively flavored Penang White Coffee at Coffee Tree, and then explore the Royal Selangor Pewter factory—the world's largest pewter manufacturer. Observe the intricate pewter-making process, and purchase unique mementos.
