Go BackThe listing of Top Ten Penang Attractions is based on my own recommendation, not through popular survey. Naturally each person will have his own preference. What I have listed here is based on what I feel are the very interesting things about Penang, and at the same time, selected to give you a wide range of possibilities. Therefore, whether you are a nature lover, history buff or shopper, there is something listed here that I consider to be the top item in each category. If you don't have the time to see all the sights in Penang, these Top Ten Attractions is my own pick of what you should be visiting. The attractions are not arranged in any particular order, except alphabetically, as they represent specific interest.
And then, if you have more time, you can consider the other attractions which are listed here.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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