Firstly you take a scenic drive through the streets of Georgetown - UNESCO World Heritage Site and witness the ramnants left by the British and local dwellers of the past. Take a short stroll through Armenian Street where its famed street art/murals are found. Discover the unique painted walls mimicking life in the city. Blending humour and historical elements, Ernest Zacharevic, a Lithuanian born artist, hand painted the art to reflect to local culture has to offer during his short stay in Penang in 2010. Some examples are “Kids on a Bicycle”, “Boy On Chair”, and many more.
Part of the heritage trail, the clan jetties are a unique
sight to witness as you walk through a wooden path on
stilts with wooden houses beside you that are still
inhabited by the locals till today. After the construction
of the Quay in 1882, the waterfront was developed with short public landing stages or jetties. Settlements grew on
these foundations and they were used for the loading and
unloading of goods and for the mooring of sampans (boats).
Gradually, each jetty became identified and dominated by
certain clans and over time more huts sprung up. Be awed
by the experience of going through a village atmosphere
in the heart of the city.
Take a short ride on a this traditional mode of transport used in the past, Penang’s own Trishaw. Feel pampered as your “Captain” take you through the bustling street in this short ride (15-20minutes).
A set meal is included in your package (Indian/Chinese restaurant).
