George Town, Penang: A Colorful Cultural Walk!

#georgetowntrip 🚄 Getting There from Kuala Lumpur: The fastest way is by flight—cheap if booked early! Or take the train from KL Sentral to Butterworth (book via KLMB or BusOnlineTicket). The train takes around 4 hours, more punctual than buses. Once at Butterworth, follow signs to the ferry terminal—ferries run until 9PM, just RM2 and 15 minutes to George Town! 🌟 City Vibes: George Town is small and walkable—you can explore most places in 1–2 days. Locals say it’s a magical mix of cultures—on one street you’ll see churches, mosques, and Hindu temples peacefully side by side. 👣 City Walk Highlights: • Bank Street • Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion • Love Lane • Pinang Peranakan Mansion • Little India All are within walking distance—just avoid going out midday (it gets really hot!). 🍽️ Must-Try Peranakan Food: Try Chen The Legacy House, a hidden gem behind the Peranakan Museum. Run by a sweet grandma, it feels like stepping into a mini museum! She recommended the DIY Pai Tee Platter and some traditional kuih—absolutely worth a try!
