Jalan Krian, George Town, Penang

Jalan Krian, George Town, Penang (30 June 2018)


Jalan Krian, formerly Krian Road, is a minor road in George Town, Penang. It is the offshoot from Macalister Road heading west before the intersection with Anson Road. Krian Road connects Macalister Road on one end to Seang Tek Road on the other. As with many of the roads in the neighbourhood, Krian Road was named after a place in then Malaya, in this case, the district of Kerian in Perak.

Krian Road is lined with mostly double-storey Straits Eclectic-style townhouses. Since the turn of the 21st century, many of these have been renovated and converted into shophouses, in particular a row of eight houses now branded as 8 Row. There are still other townhouses in the area that have yet to be restored.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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