PLAN A DAY TRIP IN GEORGETOWN-MALAYSIA

Blog, Destinations - GoroadTrip - January 30, 2019

Georgetown is a very old place with lots of history. It is in the north-west of Malaysia, on Penang Island. It is the capital city of the Penang state. It seems to be the second largest city of Malaysia after Kuala Lumpur. This city has become a very well-known place to visit in Malaysia. Georgetown is a rare combination of today’s modern lifestyle and is also soaked in history with its atmospheric streets lined with heritage architecture. Georgetown is famous for its art, heritage and excellent food.

Penang Island is energetic and exploring its many sights especially the Georgetown city within a day is quite challenging. A trip to Georgetown, Malaysia, can be a fulfilling experience. Let us explore the Georgetown attractions in the following:

1) Penang KhooKongsi– This place is built 650 years ago which seems to be the foundation of the Hokkien community. The well-decorated kongsis is on JalanAcheh. This place is an interesting tourist spot. A trip to Georgetown must include this exotic location of historical significance since it provides some insight into the culture of the place.

2) Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion– This mansion is built in the Hakka-Teochew style. The Blue Mansion is close to the Georgetown portion of Penang. A trip to Georgetown would be enough to cover this place during the visit to the country.

3) Kapitan Kling Mosque– This mosque is the largest in Georgetown. The mosque allows visitors only if they are properly dressed. While planning for a trip to Georgetown and if the tourists also plan to add this to their list they must be appropriately dressed in order to not hurt the religious sentiments of the people here.


4) The Queen Victoria Memorial-This place is the best-known tourist attraction spot on a trip to Georgetown. It is in the south of Fort Cornwallis and was built at the cost of 35000 Straits dollars.

5) Clan Jetties– This place is the most tourist-friendly with its stilt houses and a temple that is worth visiting.

6) KapitanRestoran– This place is famous for its clay pot biryani and tandoori chicken and they serve all varieties of Indian dishes. This is a must addition to the trip to Georgetown.

7) KuanImTeng– This is a Taoist and Buddhist temple in Georgetown.

There are so many things to see in Georgetown and lots of delicious food everywhere you look. The joy of being in Georgetown and exploring these colonial and beautiful streets with the fusion of culture is immensely soul-stirring. A trip to Georgetown would thereby, in turn, create an alluring experience in the minds of the tourists which would last for a really long time. Such an experience tends to bring people back to this place whenever they plan to visit Malaysia. Georgetown’s blend of culinary, historical places and great religious attractions are worth the visit for everyone once lifetimes since such exhilarating experiences do not come to someone’s cradle every other day. Georgetown is a place to relish, enjoy and have some fun away from the busy cities of Malaysia.
