Half Day Georgetown Heritage
Soak up the colonial charm and the arts and culture of the beautifully preserved UNESCO World Heritage Site of George Town. We start at Pinang Peranakan Mansion that displays over a thousand pieces of Peranakan antiques and collectable items.
Next, we take a short walk to the colourful enclave of Little India that sells colourful sarees and has an abundant vibrant smell of Indian spices as we approach it. We pass Penang’s oldest Hindu temple, then continue to Teochew Temple with its ornate rooftops and intricately carved dragon pillars before learning the history of Dr Sun Yat-sen at the Sun Yat- Sen Museum. Next, we hunt for Penang’s famous street art, before continuing to one of Penang’s ancient traditional clan houses. Our tour concludes shopping for some local goodies at Cocoa Boutique.
