There is no doubt that some of best Penang places of interest lies in the historic city of Georgetown. Centered around the famous fort Cornwallis, Georgetown has been shaped many years by trade, commerce and good old fashion graft.

Life in the inner city thrives today much as it always has despite the encroachments of the 21st century. It remains organic and slowly evolving, a stark contrast to the many others Asian cities that have seen their hearts and souls ripped out in order to make way for modern skyscrappers and giant high rises.

Visiting some of the old building and heritage site at Georgetown brings back many fond memories. This includes some of the Penang place of interest includes Cheong Fatt Tze mansion, Khoo Kongsi, Fort Cornwallis, Museum, Temples, Churches and many more.

Georgetown infrastructure have been systematically manage, thanks to the British influence, which makes it an easy place to leisurely wander around. The best old fashion ways to discover the historical city is either by foot, bicycle or trishaw.

As a city with busy hive of activities, Georgetown is a spectacular combination of old and new, and of the traditional and modern way of life.

Take some time off to explore this city of intense sights, sound and smells as you won't find anyplace like this elsewhere.

Enjoy and have fun!
