Recommended Scenic Sights in Penang

If you are a photography enthusiast hoping to catch some scenic sights of Penang Island, here are some places I would recommend you visit:

Titi Kerawang

Visit this waterfall during the rainy season, preferably during the evening. Bring along tripod and set your camera at a slow speed. Oh, and don't forget mosquito repellent.

Toh Aka Lane

It's the quaintest alleyway in George Town. To get it at its best, wait till the sun is down and the sky turns a brilliant blue. Use a tripod to get lights-in-motion shots.

Kek Lok Si Temple

The Temple of Supreme Bliss has many photogenic spots, and the best time to visit is during Chinese New Year, when the sky is clear of clouds. For the lantern shots, return to the temple after dark, when thousands of lanterns are lit.

Seri Tanjung Pinang Promenade

If you wish to get panoramic shots of the George Town skyline, the best place to go is Seri Tanjung Pinang Promenade. Choose a clear day to cut down on atmospheric haze.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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