Pekan Cina-Pekan Melayu Arch, Alor Setar (30 July, 2016)


Pekan Cina-Pekan Melayu Arch (GPS: 6.11574, 100.36362) is an arch in Alor Setar, Kedah. It is built across Persiaran Sultan Abdul Halim, on the northern side of the bridge across Sungai Kedah, where the road meets Jalan Sultan Muhammad Jiwa.

The Pekan Cina-Pekan Melayu Arch was erected by the Kedah Chinese Chamber of Commerce to celebrate the solidarity between the Chinese and Malay communities in Alor Seter. As one approaches the arch from the south, one may see the signage showing that Pekan Cina is on the left side of the road, while Pekan Melayu is on the right.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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