Lorong Prangin, George Town, Penang

Prangin Lane, George Town, Penang (4 July 2019)


Lorong Prangin, formerly known as Prangin Lane and in Penang Hokkien as Kiam3 Hu3 Tnia2 , is one of the lanes in the old quarters of George Town, Penang. It runs parallel to Prangin Road, linking Beach Street to Carnarvon Street.

The Beach Street end of Prangin Lane was a working-class neighbourhood. This is where support trades for the Sia Boey Market are located, so you can find activities such as drying of salted fish and rattan making in this area.

Today Prangin Lane has been sanitized, now that the Sia Boey Market has moved away to Macallum Street Ghaut.
