Sungai Burong, Balik Pulau

Sungai Burong, Balik Pulau (4 May 2015)


Sungai Burong, often spelled Sungai Burung, is a small stream the runs from the hills of Balik Pulau to the Straits of Malacca on the west coast. It passes through the paddy fields, where it has been canalised, with a bund beside it. The road laid on over the bund is known as Jalan Sungai Burung.

A Malay settlement has formed around Sungai Burong. It is also called Sungai Burong, although to differentiate between the two, the village is often called Kampung Sungai Burung.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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