Jalan Tanjong Tokong, PenangJalan Tanjong Tokong, Penang (1 January 2017)


Jalan Tanjong Tokong is a major road on the north side of George Town. It is the main artery for the Tanjong Tokong neighbourhood. Jalan Tanjong Tokong starts at the intersection with Jalan Bagan Jermal, Kelawei Road and Gurney Drive. The road continues as Jalan Tanjung Bungah after the Chinese Swimming Club.

Jalan Tanjong Tokong was once a semi rural road. The Royal Australian Air Force has a recreation club for its servicemen here. That site has now been redevelopment into Island Plaza. Nowadays Jalan Tanjong Tokong is witnessing rapid redevelopment, as landed properties make way for high-rise luxury condominiums. The area is a choice residential neighbourhood due to the scenic view of George Town from here.

The road lining of Jalan Tanjong Tokong (as of February 2016) is poorly conceived, forcing motorists on the fast lane to swerve to the left lane at each approaching intersection. The fast lane on the southbound side disappears at the approach to Tulang Corner while a new lane emerges on the left. This forces motorists to switch lanes. The poorly conceived road alignment is a danger to those unfamiliar with Jalan Tanjong Tokong.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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