Here’s an overview of your tour
A visit to Penang isn't complete without a visit to the majestic Kek Lok Si temple, the impressive Chinese clanhouse Khoo Kongsi and the Pinang Peranakan Mansion.
What better to do all this than by boat? Meet and greet me at the Swettenham Pier and let's start your local adventure!
Kick off your tour with a visit to the Kek Lok Si Temple - the largest Buddhism temple in Southeast Asia! Khoo Kongsi is another must-see and also the largest clan temple in George Town. I can tell you all about its rich history, the Chinese immigrants in the 19th and 20th century.
At the Pinang Peranakan Mansion, you can get a glimpse of the typical home of a rich Baba of a century ago and is recreated to offer a glimpse of their opulent lifestyle and their many customs and traditions.
After all these sights you must be feeling peckish! Top of your tour with a dish that makes your taste buds dance. How about some delicious local food? How about the Penang Asam laksa, the popular local dish that ranked as CNN's #7 the yummiest food!
If you have any questions or would love to personalize this tour to your wishes, I'd be happy to!
