Lim Lean Teng Road

Lim Lean Teng Road, Penang (8 December 2012)


Lim Lean Teng Road is a road in the Green Lane area of George Town. It is the road that runs from Green Lane to Terengganu Road. Branching off from Lim Lean Teng Road are Han Chiang Road, Dungun Road and Medan Terengganu.

Lim Lean Teng Road was named after an imminent Teochew from the Teochew Association of Penang. Mr Lim was instrumental in founding the Han Chiang High School which lies along the road named in his honour. The school was founded on 10 October 1919 - the anniversary day of the liberation of China - and was named Han Chiang after the river flowing through the Teochew home village of Chaozhou, in eastern Guangdong Province, China. Similarly, the ancestral temple of the Teochew in Penang is also called Han Chiang, and spelled Han Jiang.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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