Salween Road

Salween Road, George Town, Penang (22 December 2012)


Salween Road is a minor road in George Town, Penang. The L-shaped road connects with Irrawaddy Road to the west and Arratoon Road to the east.

As with Irrawaddy Road, Salween Road was named after a geographical locality in Myanmar, in this case the Salween River, which originates in Tibet, and flows through Thailand and the Shan and Kayah states of Myanmar to enter the Andaman Sea.

Salween Road is lined with residential properties in the form of double-storey terrace houses built in the mid 20th century. They exhibit an early modern architecture style. The only high-rise building along the road is the 30-storey Sri Perdana Condominium built in 1996.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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