Peking Street

Peking Street, Penang (16 June 2018)


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.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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