Nirvana Road (尼哇纳路)

Nirvana Road, George Town, Penang (25 November 2010)


Nirvana Road (Traditional/Simplified Chinese: 尼哇纳路), also known today as Jalan Nirvana, is a road in George Town, Penang. It is the main road through the Taman Nirvana housing estate where most of the road names were Buddhist-inspired. I believe this is due to its relation to the Penang Buddhist Association nearby. In all likelihood, the land in the area was developed by the same people who were influential leaders of the association. The name nirvana, in the Buddhist context, refers to the stillness of mind after the fires of desire has been completely extinguished.

Nirvana Road connects Anson Road to Lim Eow Thoon Road. It also branches off to a number of side roads including Dharma Road, Deva Pada Road, Bodhi Avenue and Kim Bian Aik Road. At the northern end of Nirvana Road is Taman Lalulintas, a small park for people to learn traffic skills.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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