Penang – Malaysia’s best-known and most-visited destination – is an alluring blend of Indian, Chinese and sundry influences.

The island’s capital city, Georgetown – a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site – is dotted with atmospheric Chinese store fronts and imposing mansions while its northern quadrant plays host to Batu Ferringhi, a resort strip dominated by huge luxury developments.
