Jalan Sungai Pinang, Balik Pulau (16 February 2013)
Jalan Sungai Pinang is one of the main roads in
Balik Pulau. It should not be confused with
Jalan Sungai Pinang in George Town.
Jalan Sungai Pinang of Balik Pulau leads out of Balik Pulau town (also known as
Kongsi) towards the village of
Sungai Pinang. However, long before it arrives at Sungai Pinang, it has changed its name, first to Jalan Air Putih, and then to Jalan Sungai Rusa.
As Jalan Sungai Pinang leads out of Balik Pulau, it passes through the administrative centre of town. Among the sights here include the Balik Pulau Hospital and the Balik Pulau District Office. As it heads out of Balik Pulau town, it passes a number of rural settlements such as
Titi Teras,
Air Putih and
Sungai Rusa. Due to their proximity to Balik Pulau, as well as pressures from the urban sprawl of George Town, these rural villages are now experiencing housing development.
