Jalan Gopeng, George Town

Jalan Gopeng, George Town, Penang (9 July 2022)


Jalan Gopeng, formerly Gopeng Road, is a minor road in George Town, Penang. Located off Dato Kramat Road, it is a no-through road in the form of the letter "L". The road was named after Gopeng, Perak.

Jalan Gopeng is noted for having well-preserved traditional-style shophouses from the turn of the 20th century, surprisingly old for the area. Some of these gems were preserved due in part to Jalan Gopeng being overlooked for urban development. The best examples are the row from the start of Dato Kramat junction to the 7th townhouse. Deeper in, the houses are newer and in plain "modern" style.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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