Lebuh Western, George Town

Lebuh Western, George Town (9 December 2020)


Lebuh Western is a minor road on the western part of George Town, Penang. Originally Western Avenue, took its name from Western Road, which has since been renamed Jalan Utama today. Western Avenue is a leafy avenue that ends in a cul-de-sac. It is lined on both sides with grand mansions. The whole area is within the prestigious Ayer Rajah neighbourhood. Incidentally, Western Avenue is translated into Malay as Lebuh Western rather than Lebuhraya Western or even Lebuhraya Barat.

Getting there

There are no bus routes to Western Avenue, so the most practical way to get there is by private transport.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
