Guide to Penang & Hotels
The Island of Penang, just off the northwest coast of Malaysia, holds a fascination for the sunseeker and historian alike. While the white sandy beaches of Batu Ferringhi are renowned, Penang is actually the oldest British settlement in Malaysia and visitors will delight in the historic capital Georgetown, a UNESCO World Heritage site. For a spectacular view, take a trip up Penang Hill. |
