Jalan Lembah Permai, Tanjung Bungah, PenangJalan Lembah Permai, Tanjung Bungah, Penang (3 February 2018)


Jalan Lembah Permai is a major road on the northwestern part of George Town, Penang. it leads out of the city limits through Tanjong Bungah into Batu Ferringhi in the north. It is a winding hill road that passes through the Vale of Tempe, a water catchment area at the foothills of Penang Hill. The road serves the Guillemard Reservoir in the area.

The Jalan Lembah Permai area was once a rural part of George Town where farmers worked in the pepper estate. This has since made way for the urban sprawl of George Town, and the property here has risen substantially in prices. Nevertheless there are still pockets of the working-class neighborhood along this road.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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