Go BackAs with many of the major cities in Pakistan, Gujranwala traces its history back thousands of years. The famous Chinese Buddhist pilgrim Hsuan Tsang is documented to have passed through it in AD 630. As with elsewhere in Pubjab, it was ruled by the Mughal Empire. In 1707, following the death of Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb Alamgir, the city came under the Sikh Empire. It was eventually annexed by the British Empire in 1849.
Gujranwala industrialized rapidly following the creation of Pakistan in 1947. Today it is the third biggest economic center in the province after Lahore and Faisalabad.

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
