Penang is often referred to as the “Pearl of the Orient”. The Penang Bridge, the longest in Asia, is one of the island’s most famous landmarks. Penang also boasts an array of charming historic buildings and places of interest displaying both Eastern and Western influences. There are also idyllic beaches for sun-worshippers and picturesque hills for nature lovers. Not to be missed too is Penang’s superb food, from the famous nasi kandar and Penang Street chendul to English tea on Bukit Bendera and Chinese fare.
