When a
person mentions holiday in Penang to a Malaysian, the first excitement you will hear is how great the food is.
Then you will hear of its beautiful historical and heritage sites and then about the beaches and sea
breezes.
It is a strange feeling one could have on that island, given it being a
city and yet a beach holiday destination. So in one day you could feel totally busy and tired from absorbing the
city’s hustle and bustle, and then feel totally on vacation at the beach. Amidst the relaxation factor is
Penang’s cultural and historical features.
Penang being one of the earliest settlements in Malaysia holds some of the most historic evidence of
Malaysia’s colonial era. You could see a mix of culture and how Malaysians have such a mixed nationality. Some
of the island’s churches and temples are one of the oldest in Malaysia, and each have a story to
tell.
Penang
is also said to be a shopping haven. Its semi-metropolitan progress has brought in well-known brands of goods
and on the contrary, cheap goods that can be found at the markets of Batu Ferringhi.
When you holiday on the Island you will feel almost like you’re in a
different country, as although the national language here is still Malay and seconded by English, a majority of
Penangnites (Penang locals) speak Hokkien -a Chinese dialect - to the extent that even some Malay and Indian
nationals speak the language!
A trip down to Gurney Drive and the Pulau Tikus marketplace is a must for a
fine feast of food. At night visit the Batu Ferringhi night market which stretches along the sides of an uphill
road, and in the day time kick off your sandals and absorb the sun on the beaches of Ferringhi. In the afternoon
visit the Kek Lok Si temple and Fort Cornwallis for a truly magnificent cultural and historical experience. Only
after you’ve embarked on this adventure would you be able to view Penang in admiration.
