Peking Street (Malay: Lebuh Peking; Penang Hokkien: Snar3-Tiau3 Lor33 Pnua1 ) is a short road in the Seven Streets Precinct of George Town. Sometimes also called Jalan Peking, this street was added to the Seven Streets Precinct, along with Nanking Road, after the first seven streets have already been laid. Hence it became known as Snar3 Tiau3 Lor33 Pnua3, or Second-and-a-half Street, in Hokkien.
Many of the houses in Peking Street huddled close together in this working-class neighbourhood. While the road is supposed to connect between Brick Kiln Road and Tye Sin Street, often cars cannot pass through it smoothly due to the number of vehicles parked along the road.
Getting there
The nearest bus stop is on Brick Kiln Road. It is served by Rapid Penang Bus 302, 303, 307 and 401.
In Other Words ...
Peking Street is known in Hokkien as Snar3 Tiau3 Lor3 Pnua3, meaning the "Third and a half Street" after the Prangin Canal.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
