Penang

Penang is an exotic holiday destination with no shortage of cultural sights and natural scenery. The combination of British colonial architecture and excellent sandy beaches draws many visitors to this island off the northwest coast of Malaysia. 

Some of Penang's most interesting sites include the sandy beaches of Tanjung Bungah and the vibrant landscape of Penang Hill. The quaint nooks and crannies of Georgetown and the Tropical Spice Garden – the only spice garden in South East Asia – as well as its many night markets and modern shopping malls also merit a visit.
