Jalan Sungai Nipah, Balik Pulau

Jalan Sungai Nipah, Balik Pulau (27 February 2013)


Jalan Sungai Nipah is a rural road in Balik Pulau, Penang. The road was laid across a stretch of paddy fields to form a connection between Kampung Sungai Burung and Kampung Genting. It is designated as State Route P16.

Jalan Sungai Nipah is noted for its picturesque sceneries of the surrounding paddy fields. Having visited this road over the course of the last two decades, I have seen how it transform over the years. The road used to be more scenic long ago, when the paddy field reached right to the road side. Since then, many of the fields have been abandoned or developed. There are still some paddy fields on the south side of the road today (Feb 2013).

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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