A fascinating fusion of the East and West, Penang embraces modernity
while retaining its traditions and old world charm. These are reflected in its
harmonious multiracial populace and well-preserved heritage buildings which led
to George Town being accorded a listing as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage
Site recently. Long regarded as the food capital of Malaysia, Penang also entices
visitors with its beautiful coasts and scrumptious cuisines.
