Penang

A relatively small island which is linked to the mainland by a bridge, Penang has long been considered Malaysia's premier resort. Of its many beach resorts, Batu Ferringhi is the best known with modern resort hotels, bars, eateries, entertainment outlets and night-markets in profusion. The state capital, Georgetown, is dotted with colonial and Chinese influences and now enjoys World Heritage status.  A cacophany of sights, sounds and experiences, the town boasts colourful temples and impressive colonial-era buildings along with copious amounts of fun, food and retail therapy.
