Children At Play Mural

43A Acheen Street (10 August 2013)


Children At Play is a set of two murals in George Town, Penang. The murals are painted on the interior wall of a shophouse at 43A Acheen Street. They depict a total of five children. The paintings are deliberately child-like, as though children were involved in painting them.

43A Acheen Street was built over a narrow lane that was once known as Pepper Lane, or Lorong Lada, as it once led to the warehouse belonging to Tengku Syed Hussain, the main property owner in the area in the early 19th century. A wooden gate was constructed to the entrance, which now leads to an ensemble of urban village houses.

About this website

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
