With a literal translation from the local language to mean ‘Isle of the Betel Nut’, Penang is an island located on the north-western coast of Malaysia. Penang is home to many towns and cities that come together to give this island a character of its own; from the World Heritage Site, Georgetown to one of the most popular beach locations in Malaysia, Batu Feringgi. No matter what you want to do, be it a historic cultural explorer, a pampered individual or die hard water sport enthusiast, Penang offers a bevy of things to do and appreciate.
Beyond frolicking on the beaches and trekking through its vast jungles, there are many things to do while in Penang. Trishaw tours through historic Georgetown is a popular activity to do while on holiday, these cute peddle powered vehicles will carry you through the smaller lanes of the city streets, allowing you to rub elbows with the locals and get a good grasp of the cultural significance of this town. Whilst strolling alongside the streets of Penang, it would be a shame not to sample some of the local fare from the hawkers you can find along the wayside. With a combination of Indian, Chinese and Malaysian cuisine, there is a delectable range of food to sample from.
For the scenic and romantic aspects of Penang, head over to Batu Feringgi beaches, where the waves lapping on the shore and the vast open spaces will lull you in to a serenity that you never knew you possessed. Take a cable car ride up Penang Hill and get a bird’s eye view of the entire island. For some shopping, head over to the local flea markets, such as Pasar Malam, Lorong Kulit, Rope Walk, Campbell Street and Little India. Penang also hosts a wide selection of malls that are home to both local and international brands offering a vast range of commodities.
Nigh time at Penang is equally exotic, with a good selection of bars, nightclubs, restaurants and cafes; there is much to do once the sun goes down in this paradise isle. And as with all Asian countries, the massages and spas are truly worth experiencing. When looking for your ideal Penang hotel to spend your blissful honeymoon getaway, look no further than Copthorne Orchid Hotel Penang. Conveniently located close to the historic Georgetown, Penang Butterfly Farm, Fort Cornwalls, Sleeping Buddha and major tourist attractions, this popular hotel, will be an ideal retreat.
