Top Must-Photograph Spots in Penang: Save This Ultimate City Walk Guide Now!

I initially thought Ubud in Bali was the ultimate destination for exploration, but after my trip to Penang, I realized that even two days and two nights aren’t nearly enough! Every corner of this vibrant city is a photographer’s dream, and my WeChat Moments 9-grid photo set was updated multiple times a day.

1️⃣ Transportation
I flew from Guangzhou 🛫 to Penang 🇲🇾 (about 3.5 hours). Before departure, I booked a car rental on the Zuzuche App. Upon arriving in Penang, I picked up the car directly at the airport, which was incredibly convenient! Now, there are significant discount coupons available on Zuzuche that can save you a lot of 💰.

Here’s how: Open the Zuzuche App homepage 🔍 RED123, and you’ll see the coupon page where you can click to receive a generous coupon package. In Penang, I got an exclusive new customer discount of 50 off for two days, and if you rent for more days, the savings 💰 increase even more!

2️⃣ Attractions
Day 1:
1. Experience the charm of Peranakan Babas photography at the Pinang Peranakan Mansion 📷. I reserved a slot in advance (though you can also book on-site, be prepared to wait). The package included hairstyle, costume rental, and a 30-minute photography session. The photographer’s skills were top-notch, and the photos turned out so well they barely needed any retouching.

2. The Blue Mansion requires advance booking due to limited entry, so plan ahead.
3. LovePenang is a treasure trove of Nanyang-style buildings, each one a perfect backdrop for your photos.
4. Bank Street, Fort Cornwallis, and the Old Town Clock Tower are steeped in history and are must-visit landmarks.

5. Don’t miss Moh Teng Pheow Nyonya Kuih; it’s both affordable and delicious 😋.
6. In the evening, explore the nearby Michelin-starred restaurants; there are so many to choose from 🥹.

Day 2:
1. Start your morning with a visit to Penang Hill, where you can enjoy breathtaking views of the entire island from the summit.
2. In the afternoon, stroll through the Clan Jetties and admire the Street Art. The creative murals with their playful poses make for a delightful experience!
3. End your day at New Lane Hawker Center, savoring local delights like char kway teow, oyster omelet, and braised dishes. The variety of delicious foods 🤤 will have you wishing for a second stomach!

3️⃣ Hotel
I stayed at The Prestige Hotel, a charming Nanyang-style hotel featuring an infinity pool, a lavish breakfast, and a prime location near all the attractions mentioned above.

Wishing everyone who visits Penang a fulfilling and joyous trip 🥳!
