Sungai Pinang, Balik Pulau

Sungai Pinang, Balik Pulau (9 July 2022)


Sungai Pinang in Balik Pulau is one of the two rivers in Penang by that name. The Sungai Pinang of Balik Pulau flows towards the west coast. It has its estuary, Kuala Sungai Pinang, among the mangrove swamp of the west coast. This is a fishing village where most of the villagers are fishermen. Further upriver is the village of Kampung Sungai Pinang.

Unlike the other Sungai Pinang, the Sungai Pinang of the west coast is relatively unpolluted by inorganic waste. The river cascades down the steep slope of the central hills to reach the western plain, where it then meanders into the wetlands.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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