Originally serving as a military and administrative base for the British East India Company, the fort was constructed to safeguard their interests in the region from potential French attacks (which never materialized).
- Streets of Harmony
The Street of Harmony is one of the oldest streets in Penang. It was named after the British Prime Minister, William Pitt the Younger, in 1786. The street began to flourish when people from diverse backgrounds came to Penang to seek shelter during wars, ultimately settling there and preserving their unique cultural identities.

Here, the air is filled with the enticing aroma of spices, the sounds of Bollywood hits, and a maze of streets lined with shops selling everything from sarees to intricate jewelry. It's a slice of India in the heart of Penang, offering visitors a chance to witness the island's rich Indian heritage.
- Chinatown
Nestled within George Town, Chinatown stands as a testament to the Chinese influence on the island. Lantern-lit streets, intricate temples, and traditional medicine shops make up this historic enclave. As you walk through, you're greeted with the mouthwatering scent of local Chinese food. An architectural and culinary delight, Chinatown paints a vivid picture of Penang's Chinese legacy.
- Reclining Buddha
Situated in the picturesque town of Pulau Tikus, the Temple of the Reclining Buddha (Wat Chayamangkalaram) stands prominently on a hill in Air Itam. It is home to a 33-metre gold plated reclining Buddha, symbolizing Buddha’s attainment of nirvana. This serene representation attracts devotees from around the globe.
