Bangor is a city in Gwynedd, in northwestern Wales. With a permanent population of 13,700, it is one of the five cities in Wales and among the smallest cities in Britain. The city is also a university town with a student population of 10,000.

Bangor is on the north coast of Wales facing the Menai Strait, which separates it from the island of Anglesey. The name Bangor comes from Welsh, meaning a fenced-in area. Its name is unrelated to Bangor in Northern Ireland. The city claims to have the longest High Street in the United Kingdom.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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