Penang or better known as the Pearl of the Orient is the tropical state on the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia, bordered to the north by Thailand and to the south by Singapore. It is a beautiful island with rich heritage, lush greenery and alluring shores.
It
is a perfect place for relaxing and recreation. With many exciting events, it is
not surprising that many tourists have returned because of its charm.
First
"discovered" by the British as a spice trading port, Penang has since
emerged as an international holiday destination as well as one of the premier
Asian locations for meeting, incentives, conventions and expositions (MICE).
Besides
the famous Batu Ferringhi beachfront with 5-star resorts, Penang also offers a
variety of attractions such as:
a wide range of exotic and international cuisine;
outstanding shopping and leisure facilities;
a choice of golf courses; and
an unforgettable heritage experience.
