Sungai Pinang, Balik PulauSungai Pinang, Balik Pulau (8 August 2013)


Sungai Pinang (GPS: 5.39944, 100.2137) is a Chinese village in Balik Pulau, Penang. Not to be confused with Kuala Sungai Pinang, a separate village, it is located at the junction of Jalan Sungai Rusa, Jalan Pantai Acheh and Jalan Teluk Bahang. The village has a Chinese primary school and a Malay primary school. There are pre-war shophouses lining the streets in the village.

The name Sungai Pinang also refers to the river that gives the place its name. It flows westward from the central hills of Penang Island to the Straits of Malacca. This is a different river from the Sungai Pinang that flows eastwards through Jelutong.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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